Dont you hate it when .....
 
.... you have a bruiser in range, you draw back, start to line up the shot, and cant see good enough through your peep to take the shot :(

Someone needs to invent something that will fix this problem and make us millions!!

It's also called shoot with both eyes open. To try and help you though, they make a peep with a 1/4 inch hole in it. Get that one.

The previous two suggestions are great but if I may ask...why couldn't you see through your peep? Was it because of the low level of light or because the peep didn't rotate?

Try not using a peep.I did this a couple years a go and love it.

wasn't on a bruiser, but i've had that happen before too. my pin lights up great and is easy to see in low light, but i just couldn't put it on the deer enough to call it an ethical shot, so i backed down. i haven't tried to shoot without a peep in a long time, but i remember that my accuracy and consistency went way up when i started using one. then again, i'ma lot more experienced and practiced than i was then, with better and more consistent shooting technique. is the peep sight actually overrated??

I actually do use a peep with a 1/4 inch hole. I also have a Trophy Ridge lighted pendulum sight but I was shooting at dusk and could see okay when not squinting through the peep but just couldnt make out the kill zone well enough to take the shot. Judgement call, I could have let one fly but decided against it for obvious reasons. The season is early and the best hunting is yet to come so no worries.

I with the no peep crowd, I have NEVER shot with a peep.

yeah, no peep is a good solution. took my first deer this year with it, works very well.

That is a good point. Even on a bruiser there is never an excuse to take a marginal shot. You will get hime next time.
