I have one on my turkey gun and love it. I wonder if it would allow you to eliminate the rear peap?

I have tried it and was not overly impressed, especially for the price. They do a good job in low light obviously, and work good if your vision is failing you. It is easier to see the dot than it is to make out a pin, at least I thought so.

You can also use them fairly well without a peep sight if you set them up right.

Down falls are they are expensive, but not really considering the price of some of the sights now (way too expensive in my opinion). They are a pain to set up correctly. They are also kind of heavy compared to other sights. If are looking to just get rid of your peep sight I suggest the no peep. About the same as far as set up goes but cheaper and lighter. And you always have the issue of it not working, forgetting to turn it on, or having the batteries go dead at an inopertune time. And it may not be legal in your state, check before you buy one. Some states do not allow electronic sights of any kind.

Like I said I had one, and personally I went back to a 30 dollar 3 pin sight for hunting.

Oh, and those come with a really cheap a$$ BSA red dot sight. They make better ones, but they cost more. You can get a HOLO sight as well, but I think they are in the 250-300 range.

I would say no just because inmy opinion it is making archery to easy. Just like shooting a gun,almost. Just my opinion.

They are a grade A, numero uno, pain the a double crooked letter to set up!! When we finally did get it set up, something went terribly wrong during a 3D shoot and we never did get it fixed. My buddy now has a single pin slider on his bow.
