Default tall hunters and the peep

I' m 6' 3 and when I draw back my bow the peep is too low. So I slide the peep higher on the string, but then I have to raise my sight to compensate. Now my 20 yard pin is at the very top and I still have to scruntch (word?) down to see through the peep. Is there something really obvious I' m missing? I suppose I can pull the string higher, but then that screws up my anchor point. Hmmmmmmm. What do you tall guys do?

Where do you anchor? Sounds like you must be using a low anchor, under your chin.

When I shot sights/release, I anchored with the big knuckle of my index finger buried behind my jawbone, right under the ear lobe. I' m 6' 6" and never had a problem like you describe. If you have to change your anchor to get a good sight picture and have the peep set at a height that' s natural and comfortable for you to see through it, then that' s what you must do.

sorry i ain' t AS tall as u too.... but i did have this problem....if u don' t change ur anchor point you are gonna have that problem...i anchor at the point where my jaw starts to angle up.... under my ear....i think i used to anchor lower than that....when u anchor higher..it raises the bow which allows u to see through your peep...... hope this helps!

Well, duh! That was a no-brainer. My anchor was under my chin. I think if I use my earlobe it should be about right. Thanks, guys.
