Default Any feedback on the No-Peep

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

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.
