I can' t see my sight pins!
I installed a Spot Hogg Real Deal with .019 pins on my bow this past weekend. I' m also using a no-peep and when I try to sight, the pins disappear behind the string. I played with the set up and started shooting pretty good by sighting the pins just left of the string enough that I could see. But I don' t feel comfortable doing this. I like it dead center.
I know I can
A=go to .029 pins.
B=maybe go with a crosshair sight such as the Sightmaster 200.
C=install a peep which I do not want to do.
Anyone else encounter this problem before?

VA,
Simply adjust your No-peep towards the bow until the ring is seen where you like it. Remember, correct form is also about consistency. Consistently put the kisser in the same spot every time you draw and your No-peep ring should be dead center everytime unless you have torque in your grip.
Good luck and good hunting!!

Thanks for the suggestions, but its not the no-peep and I don' t use a kisser. It' s just when I line my pins up behind the string (like I always did with a peep), they disappear behind the string.

I think I know what your saying.
I too am fixing to put a no-peep on my bow in about 5 minutes from now, if I can get away from this time magnet I' m typing on.
Once I removemy peep the pins are going to line up behind the string, if I hold everything like I do now, and adjusting the sight out to compensate for the no-peep mounting under the sight mount.
With a no-peep, do you look/sight down the side of your string now? Like this kind of...( :| )
I' m scared to take my trusty peep off!

You have to move your head slightly to one side of the string so the pins are not in line with it.
Maybe its just something I' m going to have get used to doing now with the no-peep.

RE: I can' t see my sight pins!
Ok put the no-peep on but have yet to take my peep off. Just pulling back and looking through my sight window, that thing is all in the way. Tried it top. Tried it bottom. Now I have it farther then the farthest screw down on the mount. Just one screw. It is down now out of the sight window, but there is no way I' m going to get use to this. Also the spring that is suppose to hold tension against the side as I' m adjusting, seems weak.
I wore myself out dialing it in. It was like shooting 50 arrows non stop.
Anyone want to buy a new no-peep?
