I use both, sort of. I use a peep and I tie a ball of serving on the string to act as a small
kisser button. It makes a solid anchor for me.

I like just a peep. I would suggest to just try and see what you are comfortable with.

I have a peep sight and the kisser button. I think that way I have more of a constant anchor point

I'm a peep only guy. I use my knuckle and jaw for the second anchor point. But it gets into what you are comfortable with. I have buddies that have just kissers and both kissers and peeps. All are good shots.

thanks guys. on my old bow i had both a kisser and a peep. i think im gonna try shooting with just akisser for now... and if it doesn't work out ill get a peep. plus it will save me a couple dollars since i have a kisser that is sitting with my stuff. thanks again.

Same here! I use to be the other way around and use a peep and no kisser but the older i get the worse my eyes seem to get and i was having trouble seeing through the peep even though i used a big one especially in low light. I took the peep off about three years ago and never looked back. I'm just as accurate without a peep as i was with one out to about 40yds. I'm strickly a tree stand hunter and don't shoot past 30yds so the kisser works great for me especially in low light.

A peep and a kisser button is redundant, you really don't need both. It just adds more weight to your string. And if you shoot at longer yardarges with a peep and try to center the pin in the peep your kisser button will not be in the same spot because you need to change your anchor point slightly to get the pin in the center of the peep. This will also happen with a single pin movable sight.

A peep is more accurate than a kisser in most cases, especially a smaller one. It actually helps you line up the pin and you can center the pin in the peep for more consistancy.

Kisser buttons don't really work that well if used incorectly anyway. Most put them in the corner of their mouths, which is not a consistant enough anchor. It should touch a tooth or something solid that you can't move from shot to shot. You can make your mouth move to the kisser button.

I can actually shoot alright without either, but I used a No Peep to train myself, then took it off. However I am more accurate with a peep, especially at longer distances.

peep, and have my anchor points.

RE: Peep vs. Kisser??
 
Paul is right, you don't need both. However, if you are new to archery and a beginning shooter, I would recommend both for a while until you get your form and consistency in order. Then take the kisser off and go w/ a peep.

A kisser is the only thing I have ever used. I have tried peeps and can't seem to shoot as good as I do with a kisser. I would say though try both if you can and see what works for you.

RE: Peep vs. Kisser??
 
i shot today for a while with only a kisser. needless to say, i will be going to get a peep installed either tomorrow or saturday. i plan on keeping the kisser on along with it. my groups weren't terrible, but not quite as tight as i would like. thanks for the help guys

I only use a kisser.
It does take some getting used to, especially shooting with both eyes open.

I use both.

I use both as well. I just like the extra check on my anchor point.

I used a peep for years and then I went to the No Peep. It was the best move I ever made.

RE: Peep vs. Kisser??
 
For you guys that use both, I am assuming you don't shoot much past 40 yards and you center your sight housing in the peep, not the pin. Am I correct, because I don't see how you could use a kisser button correctly and center your pin in the peep at much past 30 yards. To do this you have to slightly change your anchor point, which would move your kisser button down. If you are still getting it in the corner of your mouth you are moving your mouth to find the kisser button, not the other way around.
