no peep sight
 

My buddy shoots with no peep sight on his compound and hes got the most wicked sick shot ever! I seen him throw a bottle in the air today and nailed it with his recurve. Then again he's been doing this since he was 11y/o. He don't use a peep sight on anything though. Not sure if recurves and longbows come with them but thats what he learned with and prefers hunting with the longbow.

Anyone else shoot without a peep sight I'm just curious?

Gene Wensel said shooting a recurve is like throwing rocks.

If you throw enough of them you get pretty good;)

yeah but whats Gene say about a compound bow with no peep sight?

RE: no peep sight
 

Does your buddy use a sight at all on his compound?

I shoot both compound and recurve with no sights. I am by no streach of the imagination a great target archer but out in the field where distances have to be estimated I do pretty well against my friends who use sights.

RE: no peep sight
 

yeah he uses sights just no peep sight.

I have considered trying that.
I guess as long as your anchor point is consistent you should still be accurate.

RE: no peep sight
 

Not to mention that if you could do it accurately, you could get on target much, much faster. That might just be worth a try.

I've never used a peep but I do use a kisser button. I tried a peep sight once and didn't like it[:'(].

As long as your head stays in the same position also....

I tried to shoot w/out a peep......just couldn't do it. VERY inconsistent I was. I did, however, remove the kisser button and get along just fine.

I can shoot without a peep, I don't shoot as well but plenty well enough to hunt. I wouldn't try shooting spots that way however. If you want to try it check out the Timberline No Peep. That is what I did and it helped me quite a bit. After using it for a while I was consistent enough that I could shoot without it.

I do have one question about shooting with sights but no peep. Wouldn't you have to "tweak" your sight a little one way or the other to do this accurately? Seems to me that if you just removed your peep, your string would block your view of the pins. ????

I havent shot with one for the last two years...5 shots and 5 deer down is ok in my book without a peep. Only problem is that I do not shoot out past 30 yards anymore because my groups deteriorate fairly quick after 30 yards with no peep. Still thinking of getting a wide peep for this year just in case a nice buck comes along at 35-40 yards.....

RE: no peep sight
 

Have any of you guys shot with a peep eliminator if so does your accuracy suffer? and does the string get in the way and blur things up?

RE: no peep sight
 

I've never used a peep, or a release...I do use 2 sight pins...No problem with the string, it's just a blur that close to the eye...

I am shooting with out a peep with my reflex. I am trying to set up the timberline no peep but having trouble with it. But I am still shooting good with out the peep and no peep.
