Default Improved my groups without a peep...slow learner

I took off my peep sight two years ago because I just couldn't stand looking through it at awkward angles and always having to worry about it sliding....it just played havoc on my confidence. I have shot 5 deer without it, all being clean kills, but all of the shots were within 30 yards. That being said, my accuracy past 25 yards decreases very quickly.....

I learned to shoot on my own with no coach, nothing. So guess what...I have some terrible habits here and there probably.....so I was shooting a couple of days ago, and something hit me....I was NOT looking right down my bow string. My eyes were kicked off to the left, and I felt I was torquing my bow during my release. So I just changed one thing up.....I put the kisser button in the corner of my mouth as normal, but let the bow string touch the tip of my nose, thereby looking straight down the string...immediately my groups tightened up by over an inch at 20 yards. Man I am a slow learner. I was thinking of getting a new peep sight this year but with these results I may not get one after all.

Any other suggestions for a stubborn/slow learner who shoots without a peep sight? Thank you.

That's one reason I either use face paint or pull my mask down when I shoot...I anchor at the corner of my mouth (shoot fingers), feel the string at my nose and concentrate on where the arrow will go...I've never used a peep...
