Any feedback on the No-Peep
 

Being the "off" season and all I am racking my brain trying to find new things to buy. :D

I was thinking about the No-Peep and wanted to get some feedback from people who either use it today or have tried it in the past.

Looking for pro's and con's.

Thanks in advance.

have used one the last 3 years, it really helps with your form, makes you come to the same draw every time. i hardly notice that it is there. if you are having problems with form it is a good investment. i like mine and will keep using it.

Once it's set up you will like the no-peep--helps in low light shooting and will show any torque on the shot.I will never be without one again!

I have yet to here something negative about it. So I've decided to give it a try. I'm gonna order one this offseason and give it a try through the summer and we'll see if it stays for hunting season!

I'll be right there with ya titleist, I've got to give this thing a try. I don't really have problems with low light, but my eyesight gets worse each year and trying to see through a peep can be challenging. Will they work on the Hoyt's tec riser design?

For 20 yard shots or less, they are probably just fine. But it is my experience that you will be more erratic on longer distances when compared to using a peep. As far as low light conditions, you can see the target better, but without the peep, you can't see your pins as well and therefore aren't any better off than with a peep where just the opposite occurs (I can see the pins but not the target).
I used one heavily for about a year and for awhile I thought it was the only way to go. But I never could master the same consistency as with a peep, so I went back to a conventional set up.

Thats the first negative thing I've heard about the no peep. Thats interesting that you lost accuracy out at 30 yards. Do you have any idea why? I shoot pretty well with a peep. With a peep things can be off a little. I have used my trigger finger on the bottom of my ear, string toughing tip of my nose and kisser at the corner of my mouth for the last 3 years and have had success. But I think if I switch to the no-peep I'm hoping it will give me that extra edge. This makes sure you hit the same anchor everytime.

Its the fist bad thing I have heard about the no peep as well.

When I had one on my bow last year I was shooting great out to 55 yards with non of the problems mentioned.

I went back to a peep for the last 3d season and had all sorts of problems with bad light.

Now I have taken the peep off and put it in the garbage where it belongs and the no peep will be going on my Black Knight when it gets here.

put a no peep on this time last year and LOVE it!! i will never go back to a peep again. it just takes getting used to and a little hassle to set it up correctly.

As far as my statement on longer distances, I think my problem is that I never made the eye alignment as automatic as it should be. I would get the circles aligned in my peripheal vision, but because it takes longer (at least for me) to settle the pin at longer distances, I would tend to move my head rather than the bow to get the pin on target, thus altering anchor point. At shorter distances, error of margin is more forgiving plus it doesn't take as long to settle the pin in first place.
In addition, as we all know, shooting form tends to suffer in hunting situations compared to target/3D situations exasperating the problem.

As far as low light situation, try it out yourself if you have another bow with a conventional set up and see if what I have said is not accurate. I can't say that you will have the same experience as me, but it is something that you should at least experience with before getting in a hunting situation.

I certainly would not discourage anyone from trying one, just be careful you don't fall in the trap that I did in which I was trying too hard to validate/rationalize its superiority even though I started getting outshot by other shooters that I had always beaten before. I went back to peep and things returned as before.

Flipout:

Also, consider:

When you have to visually check a device to determine that your form and anchor is correct and consistent, the ability to unconsciously and consistently be in correct form and at correct anchor can never be a completely physical conditioned (mostly unconscious) action. Under hunting conditions, that is not a good thing.

I can go with using the "No-Peep as a temporary training device or a recheck device for shooting form when a shooter has not shot for an extended period, but dependency on the device beyond practice is not something I personally would promote for hunting purposes.

I am under the understanding that the "No-Peep" is not a sighting device, that the chief function of the device is to check form and anchor. If it is not a "sighting" aid, then how does it replace a "string-peep" or how does it function as an eye-to-pin-to-target aid?

Although I do not like or use a "string-peep," the "string-peep" does function as a rear sight and does keep your anchor consistent without having to put too much conscious effort into it other than aligning your pin in the aperture.

Keep in mind, when the moment arrives to make your shot, most of the time you will have but a few seconds to make the shot. Too much dependency upon too many devices….or a particular device, that requires conscious thought, visual alignment/adjustment, and physical adjustment, will cause a visual and mental distraction, will increase the lag time from sight to shot, and can result in a lost shot or a bad shot.

RE: Any feedback on the No-Peep
 

A string peep is completely unnecessary if you can replicate your form on each shot. A no-peep will help train you to do this. You can ignore it competely and still shoot, which is what I do most of the time. I only check it, if my shooting goes haywire. I've been using it on my hunting bow for almost 3 years and I love it.

Hated it , junk in my book . Id rater a hindsight , it has all the benifits [ form check] , [no peep on the string] and is in line of sight , where the nopeep is in your periphial vision .

RE: Any feedback on the No-Peep
 

I guess you can get good and bad feedback on anything. All any of us can do is give our actual experience with the No Peep. In my case, I have had nothing but great success with it. It has become second nature to align the circles and I do not even realize I am doing so. As long as I have a choice I will never go back to a standard peep. I use it with both pins and a pendulum with equal success.

C903,
You seem to be giving your opinion on the NO-PEEP as well as the WHISKER BISQUIT from absolutely no hands on experience what so ever.After you actually try them yourself--then i'll listen to your opinion,and that's just my opinion on the information you give.
