RE: Peep sight moving poll ~ Just for fun
I didn't read the three pages of responses, but if you move your peep up your groups will go up since you have to lower your anchor to line up with the peep. You should not be off from one side to the other, but it does happen sometimes because of the anchor change.

RE: Peep sight moving poll ~ Just for fun
I explained this to M/Hensler PA on Saturday, his low anchor (Low Peep) caused us to move the sight window well low and I explained to him, for me, the peep would need to come up which in turn would bring the POI up as well.
I explained to him that on a 3D course, fix pin shooters are not allowed to move their sights but if POI was low or high you could tweak your peep to bring the bow in.
Matt (RJ) had a good little quiz there as well. If you even consider the thought, or imagine it, as the sight bar comes in, you need to hold it higher, POI raises.
Okay, on the lines of this thinking,
If you bring your sight bar in with a group of pins, does your pin gap grow or shrink? Again us that know, don't answer.

Of course I know the answer but I have shot 3-D's a bunch as well as work in a pro shop and hung out in them many years before I worked there.So I don't know if I am overely qualified to answer your question or not?

So if you want 20, 30, 40 yard pins. The gap between them would have to be X, regardless if your housing is 10 inches out or even with the riser...or am I totally wrong?[&:]
All these thinking questions, now I'm dwelling on them.[:'(]

The closer the pins are to your eye the farther apart they appear in relation to one another and the more you would physically have to move the bow up or down to get the pin on target. Therefore you would have to move the pinscloser together to keep the samezero at the same previous yardages.

Ding, ding we have two winners, and sorry littlechief and Tembry, the pin gap gets smaller not larger, bigbulls and GMMAT are correct as I suspect idahoelk would have been.
Think about this, as the bar increases away from your bow, it has to grow, if you had a 20 yard sight and could put your pin touching the target they'd end up at least 3" apart or the difference in the drop of your arrow (POI) using your wrong pin. So the closer to your bow/eye, the closer the pins, this is why the longer the bar, the more accurate you can be.
