I IMO it is best to be comfortable with what you are useing & to have it automatic without thought while shooting, there is enough things to thick of while doing that.
Trebark I agree 110%
I' ve noticed this site not used as much anymore & thats a bad thing
it is intended to be for info on help, Not slaming people or product

I used one for 4 seasons and it is a nice tool if you commit to it and use it properly.........its one of those things that is gonna scare the carp out of some shooter because it is so different from a normal peep arrangement. Some guys just panic and ditch it, but if you stick with it it has its benefits.
I can tell you that you can' t beat it for lowlight hunting,DART target systems etc, and anyone who says their normal peep is just as good in low light is full of it........just not possible. Also you gain speed by not having your normal peep......and for the guys still using the rubber tubed versions the gain can be significant.
But it has its share of potential problems as well.........for one, it CAN move. and if you end up bumping it even slightly you can be VERY VERY out of whack in a hurry.
Also, it is very accurate if used properly, but it is also very easy to peek during the shot and come out to early.....you can find yourself string shots left and right and not know why. WHY? because your eye and head are already outside the string, and your vision is unimpeded to the target so your natural reaction is to just sort of pull out of the shot and " Watch the Show" .
You really need to bear down on a repeatable follow thru.
Conversely you won' t find a better tool for allowing you to see an arrow impact an animal........very helpful benefit. Much better than following thru with your eye directly behind the string.
It has its goods and bads.
Am I going to use it again this year?.......honestly I' m not sure. I' m about 50/50 at this point. I didn' t use it last season for the first one since 1998 and did just fine, but I just know it can bite me in those last minutes of the day.
Right now I' m leaning more toward using it once again.

I use string wax on the threads of everything that is threaded into my bow. Generally things don' t loosen up on me. Loc Tite would do quite well too.
Also dumping the peep gained me an added 9 fps in chronographed arrow speed.

I used the No-peep for a couple years and it helped me finalize a very consistent anchor. But during my last hunting season with blowing rain and snow the no-peep was rendered useless because the front lense got all iced up or obscured by rain so I got rid of it and went back to a peep. I' m still reaping the benefits of a consistent anchor because of it and for that I' m gratefull, it was worth the money. The new no-peep has a recessed (sp?) lense to help keep out rain and snow but I' m not buying it. Anyone know of any pro' s using it?

I haven' t done it yet but I' ll get a can of Rain-X or something like that to spray my No Peep lens with as the manufacturer recommends. It does a GREAT job on my winshield of my pick-up. I expect that the rain will thus become less of a problem.

I just purchased the know peep about a month ago and i' ll tell i' m still having trouble using it sometimes i' ll shoot tight groups and the next time i' m all over the target i guess it all has to do with your form but now i' m really considering going back to the string peep because i have' nt shot this bad since i first started bowhunting,17 years ago.

Can the this be set up on a left handed bow also? I' m having trouble, as I do every offseason, with hand placement and bow torque. One day I' ll shoot all bulls and the next time all to the left or right of the bull. I have the screen up now at Eder' s and it doesn' t specify left or right. I' m gonna try it if it can be used for leftys.

I' ve used the No-Peep for 3 years now on my hunting rig and will never go back to a peep sight. The benefits in low light alone beat out any, if any, of the negatives. I havent found any negatives yet.
After using it for a while, you will notice that you will anchor correctly without even having to look at it. But trust me, when the moment of truth comes around on the big boy, you can be rest assured i' ll be takin a quick glance at my No-Peep.
As Dick stated, you' ll also pick up a little speed by taking your peep sight off, and this also quiets your bow a little.
Hope this helps.

Here is a copy of the e-mail I just sent to Timberline Archery:
Hi Everyone,
I just attached my no peep on this past Saturday, March 29th, and had my first opportunity to shoot with it, in the freezing cold while it was raining.
Nothing mattered…I was going to try this thing out! I am 40 years old and have developed, in non-technical terms, a floating black spot, in my right eye. Fortunately I am left eye dominate, but shoot right handed.
Your product has become for me very liberating! Where I was struggling before, I am now confident.
I am now the new sales person for you product in my area (amongst my shooting friends). I had been shooting with both eyes open in techno-shoots because of the ambient light being so low and then switching back to one eye when shooting spots. My form and my brain were getting very confused.
Thank goodness that is all behind me now! Using your product was like a revelation for me in so much as being able to confidently " see" the target.
My wife' s bow and my 2 of 5 little boys will all be outfitted with your product. ( The other 3 are too little to shoot yet, but they want to and eventually will)
I can not sing accolades for your product loud enough. I am hoping that your product starts a revolution in archery sighting like " fall away rests" have done for their respective task. I have both. Great work, thanks for doing it!
