Well, I am dissappointed. I can't shoot worth a damn with this thing. I have my pins set as far to the right as they can get and it still shoots 4" or so to the right at 20 yards. I can't get my eyes to focus on both the pin and the target at the same time without closing one eye, which negates the whole reason I wanted to go peepless. My eyes either focus on the pin or the target, not both. I guess I am going to go have my peep re-installed today and forget about this nonsense. It was worth a try I guess. I didn't pick up as much speed as I thought anyway. It was shooting 279 fps with the peep and 28" draw. Without the peep and with a 28.5" draw, it was shooting 294 fps. Probably a good part of that speed increase is due to the extra 1/2" draw.
Anyone want to buy a very slightly used no-peep?

Before giving up, make sure your rest and nockes are tuned. I moved my sight pins all the way over and it wasn't far enought. I looked at the how straight the arrow were going to fly and it was pointing 10 degrees to the right!!!!! This might be it?? Next year I might be going with the no-peep. I'm getting frustrated witht he tubbing of the peep, breaking, slipping off, knotting up, and getting tangled in my cables[:@][:@].
I'd give it another chance.

I may give it another chance after hunting season. I don't want to spend weeks learning to shoot with it and miss all that hunting. I had my peep re-installed today and my speed is 285 fps. I guess that means the peep and tube takes 9 fps away. No big deal really. That amounts to maybe 1/2 yard of range if that.
After season when I can relax and have some fun, I may give it another try. It was a mistake to go and change my setup during hunting season.

I used a peep for many years but got frustrated when most of the action really started at dusk and when I would draw on a deer and it was to dark to see through the peep sight! So a few years ago I started to shoot without it and shooting with both eyes open. Never go back to the peep! Shooting witn both eyes open & no peep allows me to stay out until the very last light!

I'd give it two weeks or so before throwing in the towel. It's a big change and takes some time to adjust.
