peep sites?
 

i talked to a guy today at scheels sports store and he said it would be a good idea to put a peep site on a bow that i might buy. he said that if you just use the sites you have to have a good anchor point. but he said with a peep site you dont need to be right on with the anchor point and still shoot very consistantley. is this true and do you reccomend a peep site?

Not a expert but I believe the peep acts or is a anchor point.

Mr fishy, I beleive a peep will help you shoot more accurately. be sure and get at least a 3/16 aperture. I always used a 1/4" . the bigger hole will help you in low light conditions.
but, if your like me and your eyes have gotten bad, then I' d suggest drop the peep, put on a kisser button and get yourself a xhair sight. I' m shootin better since I dropped my peep, simply because I can see my target better. the xhair sight will help you get the right aiming point. I aline my vertical xhair a little behind the shoulder, and the horizontal just below center of chest. ;)

Would you shoot a gun without a rear site?

I shot for years very well just using an anchor point, when I got my new bow it came with a peep sight. My shooting improved, but I still use my anchor point. I feel that three references is better than two.

[:-]Shoot with a peep sight and see for yourself. I used to shoot without one until I tried it. Like someone said, would you shoot a rifle without a rear sight? And my eyes are getting weaker so I opt for the larger hole and have no problems.

I would like to give you one piece of advice.If at all possible,you need to try and shoot with both eyes open.This will help in those low light conditions with a peep.This will also give you a much better sigh picture.Especially on a live animal in the woods.The difference is unbelievable.If your shooting right handed and right eye dominant,then it shouldn' t be that hard to get adjusted.

If your not using your dominant eye to sight with,then you might have hard time doing this.

I have never had a peep site on my bow and i could shoot good, but not as good as i want. Somtimes i couldent find my anchor point so now i just ordered a peep from cabelas cant wait to try it.
