Default RE: Thinking about going "peepless"

Todd,
I went peepless this past hunting season, however I did put a no-peep on my bow, I shot almost as good as I did with the peep, the advantage is this thing really lets you know if you form is off, I've used it enough that I can tell now without looking at it if I'm off, I think this next season I may even lose the no-peep. I can't emphasize enough how much the no-peep helps with your form.

I have, at times, practiced without a peep with pretty decent results. Like 3" groups at 30 yards with a bow that was not even tuned. Was just shooting the bow to see what it felt like. Accuracy was decent enough to try it with the new bow I have coming. And I don't have a kisser or anything. Just relying on anchor-point. I figure if I can do this all the time I don't need to waste my money on a No-Peep either. The whole idea is to get rid of the clutter.

I'm wondering if (or how much) my accuracy is going to suffer by not using a peep.
Todd.

For me I have lost no accuracy by ditching the peep just use a consistant and repeatable anchor point/s

Now, there is a shooter whom is going to concentrate his money and his efforts on hunting.

I switched from no peep site to a no-lose peep site and love it. I don't think you'll suffer any BIG differences, but I'm not you so, oh well. Good Luck

I switched last year cause I was having trouble when deer were under twenty yards seeing anything but hair. Shooting without a peep is like opening up the whole field of view. Never will I go back.

A peep is really nothing more than an anchor reference. It pretty much forces you to anchor the same way each time or you can't see through it. So, if you can develop a good, solid and repeatable anchor, then it's not needed.

At least, that's my opinion for a hunting bow. I'd definitely keep the peep for target and 3D.

Of course, I cut ALL the clutter and got rid of the sights too.

Default RE: Thinking about going "peepless"

I removed my peep from my hunting bow several years ago and i have no regrets. It took a little getting use to at first and my accuracy did slump a little but with lots of practice it now feels natural and i'm very accurate and confident without a peep. Like already mentioned a good solid and repeatable anchor is the key when shooting without a peep. I anchor with the top knot on my string loop in the corner of my mouth with the string touching the tip of my nose while looking to the right of the string at the pin. What i love about this set-up is you don't have to worry about not being able to find your pin in the peep in low light conditions. I'm not as young as i use to be and my eyes aren't near as good as they use to be. This is only my hunting bow and i agree with Arthur that for target or 3d i would definately use a peep. Only you can decide if you want to go peepless or not and now is a good time during the off season to give it a try, you can always put the peep back on if you want too. Good luck.
