Default Size of my peep sight

I have a peep sight that has a small hole. Should I get one with a larger hole for hunting? If so, what are the benefits?

... i hate the peep sight for bowhunting. Betwenn i have shot with a No peep last year, i have a new mind of sighting . This year i have try and confirm the BAS from Archery Innovation;
I found the system is more clar like as a sight. I can see my pin and the animal more late. I have test my accuracy again a shot with sight, and i found the same result. I prefer use it to, because you can control the hand torque...

I use the largest peep that I could find ( can't remember brand or name) so that I could see till the very last legal min. A smaller peep is a little more acurate but not enough light gets through for the first and last minunites

If you shoot the largest peep you can get, and shoot with both eyes open....you shouldn't have a problem at all getting a shot during legal hours.

The benifits of a large hole peep site is it lets more light in and oviously a bigger hole is easier to look through.
Zak try the no-peep,i just put one on my bow and i love it.Took me about an hour to set up myself and its great.Gets rid of the peep site all together

Zak!

I use the medium peep for shooting 3D and practicing around the property here. But I might try using the larger peep for hunting ,it gives you a better field of view and is much easier to find your pin in a split second when your trying to line up something that you want to shoot at low light condition's .

I think most archers will tell you to shoot the largest aperture peep you can for hunting. I shoot a Fletcher Tru peep. It started with a 3/16" opening, and I drilled it out to a little less than 1/4. It lets enough light in so I don't think I've ever not been able to see well enough to shoot right up to the end of legal hunting hours.
