Im trying, but Im soooo used to it, it's like a bad habit!!! So yall think I just need to find that sweet spot on my nose with the string??
You will have to get the peep adjusted properly so when you anchor,you are looking through the peep.Then the other reference points should be easy to find,unless you have draw length issues.

This will help your shooting most likely,take a look at the form thread that Matt posted and look how most are anchoring.


AND Matt,I have seen one picture af a VERY good pro using a very small kisser,might have just been serving but I did see it.Not sure if he uses it full time though.BUT,I have shot with many pros and seen thousands of pics and that was the only one.

I still use one and it helps greatly even with a peep. Im not sure why you are having issues with yours, maybe try having a pro-shop put it on or try another proshop. they shouldnt be breaking on you at all. Ive been using the same one since I got my bow.

I agree to ditch the kisser. Give it a little time.

Sorry guys get out the whips because I am just the oppisite of you. I hate peepsights when the action is happing fast I have lost shots because of a peep years ago. I use only the kisser button and have know problems shooting out to 50 yards!! BUt I will say that my eyes are getting worse and I might have to start hunting with my glass's soon and then I will haveno choice but put on a peepsight. Walt

Walt, not sure how long it has been since you tried a peep, but they are vastly improved over peeps years ago. Sounds like you are going through the same thing I did. I now use a peep only with zero issues.

Walt....

I may go to your method for deer hunting. I was sighting in my son's bow the other night....and we didn't have a peep on it. No big deal. I also know Germ doesn't use a peep sight.

I'm gonna experiment with this after turkey season with my hunting bow.

Wis Bow Hunter, when I bought the bow at the shop we went through 4 kissers in about 6 shots! They were blowing right off the string. I found that the really soft ones work better that the hard plastic ones. I really don't mind loosing a few fps if I can hit where Im aiming. I am used to it and I shoot better with it.

That's the main thing, find what works best for YOU! Just because a peep with no kisser works best for me does not mean something else will not work better for you. The goal is to get in a form that is repeatable for you. Make changes and play around in the off season, and if things don't work out then before it gets down to crunch time you have time to switch back.

There are no absolutes on kissers and peeps! Use what works for YOU! I found I didn't need a kisser my peep works very well. There are a lot of different kissers out there and they are inexpensive. If you decide to stay with one, experiment around until you find one that works. There are also several different sizes.

Yep Mean, I think i need to stick with it, the kisser has always worked for me, I don't want to change really, it's all about confidence.

Yep! and for a hunter sometimes you can't have too many reference points with the odd angles, etc you have to shoot in sometime. That's why I still use my peep it gives me at least one reference. Shooting from a target line is a different game. If you have trouble finding a kisser that works shoot me a PM. We'll get something figured out
