peep sight vs. hind sight??

I guess to make it equal to the hindsite though you'd move the rear sight of your rifle up to the front.[&:]
Shoot whatever you feel comfortable shooting. And if you can hit a good group, why change.

The problem with most peeps though, is people ream them out to big and when you have a 1/4 inch hole inches from your face, you're really not that accurate at all. I don't know the math at all for that, but i'm sure someone could tell you
For example. The black ring is your peep opening, the green ring is the tape on the sight bracket and your pins. That picture should never change. Simply settle the appropriate pin on the desired impact point.

You JUST described the difference in night and day to the world, David. I was doing EXACTLY what you were describing by attempting to center each sight pin inside my small peep. I didn't know any better.
When I switched sights....and went with the larger peep.....it just so happened it gave me the DESIRED outcome you also describe. it was HIGHLY enlightening. I no longer have to center each sight pin. It's awesome. Imagine shooting for over a year.......having never shot a bow before.......and then STUMBLING onto this. Yeah....I was pumped.

Hey, I shot the wrong way for 30 years. I was a self taught archer and never had anyone teach me anything. In one of my many visits to Len's shop in the past 5 yearshe watched me shooting. He changed my grip, my draw length a bunch and then got me onto this shooting. I'm a slow learner I guess. Len has taken an instructors course from one of the worlds best at PSE a bunch of years ago. Len is also one of the best shooter I ever saw while switching hands, left, right, right handed or left handed bow it doesn't matter. Anyway, I always had thought I had to have the smallest peep in the world to be accurate. And like you say, it's night and day.

David, thanks for that info. I myself was doing exactly what you decribed in centering the pin. Thats why I thought it didn't make that big of a deal. Now, when I get home i'm going to have to check that out
