The only reference it gave is that the peep moved, you are still anchored as long as your anchor references are met. Doesn't tell me whether I am anchored correctly or not!!!!

1 - knuckle of index finger against jawbone
2 - string to tip of nose
3 - lastly, peep housing centered around sight housing. (this comes last because if my other 2 and consistant and correct the peep will fall into place)
And, if I drew back and felt comfortable and noticed my peep was 1/2" high, and everything else was still "right" (index knuckle to jawbone and string to tip of nose and that "its just right" feeling I get at full draw from months and months of practice to get the correct anchor memorized and engrained into the shot) I would think "oh golly my peep creeped a 1/2", I must remember to tie it in tighter next time, silly me." If I could still see past the string or through the string "opening" to my pins I would probably still take the shot just because I know everything else is right.
To me, the peep is more of an opening in the string to see through. Its the last thing I set on a new bow after nock point, draw length, draw weight, release lenth, tuning...etc. I get all that "right" and then put the peep in and draw back with my eyes closed and get comfortable where I should be and open my eyes and move the peep up or down to fit me.

I give up......lol.
I suppose your driveway isn't a good reference pointfor where your house is.....because you know where it's supposed to be on a map.
Semantics.
I'd venture a guess that if more people felt the way you guys seem to (or wish to argue) .......that more people would choose to NOT employ a peep, at all (if they weren't using it as a point of anchor reference). It's made me want to do away with mine....since it's ONLY to see through the string with (apparently). I don't think that's very important. So....I may ditch the thing.
