No-Peep's coming off
 

Guy's !

I've decided tonight that I'm taking the no-peep off ,I've been trying to breakin new string and cable ,new sight's ,no-peep and a new release all at the same time .What a dummy I can be ,I would tell anyone that you can only successfully work on 1 thing at a time .I don't know why I figure I should be different ,but trying to get all these thing's into spec at once has proven to be nothing but a nightmare .So the no-peep is coming off and the tru-peep is back until I get the string and cable's shot in ,then I'll sight in my SureLoc sight ,and also learn to use my new Mag-Tek straprelease ,after I get these item's all down pat then I'll try again with this nightmare of a no-peep .If thing's don't work out a little better then thenit'll be off for good .I deserved to have this nightmare because I didn't practice what I preach ,so I guess you's could say it look's good on me LMAO.

You may want to change your signature then!;) Just kidding....hope it all works out for you!

RE: No-Peep's coming off
 

I too tried the no peep and I ended up taking it off also, It never made it into the woods with me, I just couldn't get the accuracy I was after, so after the no peep, i tried a knot on the string, was ok accurate but I went back to a fletcher ture peep on the string. It's the only way for me to get the accuracy I'm looking for.

RE: No-Peep's coming off
 

I'm not saying the no-peep doesn't work ,I just thinkI had too many thing's going at once to concentrate on ,But the no-peep is definetly different, and if it doesn't work the 2nd time i won't be trying it again,until I have someone who know's more about them with me for the help.But yes the Fletcher Tru peep will be back on tomorrow .
I've read lot's of good thing's about the no-peep ,but it just goes to show what work's for you might not work for me .
Hokie !
It's funny you say that because I was just looking at my sig as well for that same reason.LOL

Well I'll say it, the thing didn't work for me...... hate to say your wasting your time with the no-peep but your wasteing your time with the no-peep. Everyone I know that has tried them has taken them off. and everyone of them is more accurate with a peep on the string. One of them is a professional shooter and he really doesn't like to use a peep either but he couldn't get the accuracy without the peep.

RE: No-Peep's coming off
 

I feel your pain.I made the same mistake , new string, new sight and a no-peep addition. when somethings out of whack I'm not sure who's to blame! (but I have stuck it out[8D])
New string time just seems like a good time to not tie in a new peep.

So far the no-peep is working ok 4 me. When i can step outside and first shot is money for a full week then it stays. I'm not there yet.

RE: No-Peep's coming off
 

Not giving up just setting it aside Dave till I get everything else sorted out .I guess I'm starting over from square one and taking one step at a time ,I hope after everything else is in order then I'll worry about the no-peep ,but for now it's got to be set aside .

RE: No-Peep's coming off
 

John.

In all honesty I would shoot the string in before I install the peep.
That way you wont have to worry about the peep rotating as the string settles;)

Oh and keep your thumb on 1 side of that release or it could flick back and whack ya:)


Thats right you already learn't that lesson didn't ya:D

RE: No-Peep's coming off
 

I've shot the no-peep for years and I've put them on several bows, so I'm quite familiar with them. I also shoot very well with one. So, I'm a bit confused. The no-peep is used to get your grip and anchor exactly where you want them. You don't aim with it and it isn't affected by a moving string. If you're shooting poorly, it's not because the no-peep is attached to the bow. In fact, you don't even have to look at it, yet it can remain on the bow, if you decide to take a glance. The no-peep requires more time to get a person to the same shooting level as a peep, but you can get there. I've witnessed lots of guys putting them on their bow for a few weeks and then taking it off. They simply didn't practice enough in my opinion.

The no-peep has trained me to anchor and grip so consistantly, that I not only don't have to look at it, when I do, it's almost always got the bubble perfectly centered without having to make any grip or anchor adjustments. I once lost a chance at a big buck because a peep was attached to my bow - never again.

RE: No-Peep's coming off
 

If your NO-PEEP is working properly, then I can't see it being a bad thing to be on your bow, even as you are, as you said, "working with too many changes at once."

I have one, and am not using it. I am 95% positive it is defective though. I got it at Cabelas bargain cave, and thought it was there for the same reasons Straightarrow mentioned. Unfortunately, this one gives me problems. Even when I take care to use the same grip, sometimes I can anchor the way I normally do, other times, to get this NO PEEP to line up, I have to hold my nose almost 1" to the left of the string. When I had my Patriot Dually, I put the NO PEEP on it and it was grouping poorly. The only way I could get decent groups is by ignoring the thing, and using my simple string wrap for a back "sight" reference. That's when I realized the one I had was defective. Destroyed confidence and too much to think about are not what you want when shooting. If you got yours new, it shouldn't be giving you the problems that I had.[&:]

Guy's !

I really haven't spent enough time to get the no-peep working properly ,but with too many variable's to think about at once has me making this decision .once I have the string settled and the sight actually sighted in ,then I'll put it back on ,but what I did was putthe sight on unsighted to my bow and this is what I think is the problem .After I work out these little bug's I'll try it again .Hopefully this is my problem .

RE: No-Peep's coming off
 

I love the No-Peep. My groups have never been better. The only problem is setting them up perfectly. Once you haveit set-up they are great. If you can't get it to line up consistently you definetely have form issues.

RE: No-Peep's coming off
 

You big dumb doo doo. Or that is what my wife told me when Idosomething similar. I feel your pain, I did that a few years back. I was not trying a no peep, but was trying to break in new string and adjust a bodoodle rest (the old 80s modle, You know the pain in a but rest to set), and set my pins. I spent all summer trying to get things flying right. That was in the late 80s, I have yet to make that mistake agian. I now break in strings and cables, reset tiller, weight, and all that fun stuff if needed, then set up the string and start tuning the rest, nock, and pins. I still get excited when new toys come in and have that urge to jump in and do it all at once.:D

RE: No-Peep's coming off
 

That's easy. Just take a peek in here:


99% of the time, that's the culprit.[8D]

RE: No-Peep's coming off
 

WHAT THE
Good luck with your setup John:)

RE: No-Peep's coming off
 

When I decided to go with the no peep, I still had my peep sight in place. I bolted the no peep on and adjusted it to be seen through my peep sight. Of course, when I took the no-peep off, I couldn't see it because the string wasn't parted anymore. A small adjustment sideways and I was up and running. Still had to tweak the sights side to side but vertical was dead on. Been shooting it for roughly 3 weeks now and shooting much better than with my peep mainly because I'm shooting with both eyes open and much more comfortably. I've already started getting to where I don't make the effort to see the no-peep its just kind of there in my peripheral.

My suggestion is get things roughed in and then install the no-peep. Might even want to shoot with both on for a few days. Good luck.

RE: No-Peep's coming off
 

I agree 100% with Straightarrow and Arthur. I've had a no peep on my bow for over a year now and I can NEVER see myself using a peep sight again. It's truly nothing more than a crutch. After shooting with the no peep for a while I hardly ever look at it anymore because my anchor comes so naturally now.

RE: No-Peep's coming off
 

I'd say their both "crutches".

The folks who say they love the no-peep ,usually say "they hardly even look at it anymore".[&:] Then take it off if you dont use it.;)Yep , it's definately a crutch also!
I tried the no-peep for free because my buddy picked one up and didn't like it. My thoughts? It's a good tool to get someone to achieve consistant form/anchoring while at the range , but at the same time it does require part of your attention during shot sequence. I can definately see someone fudging a shot at an animal when shooting from a treestand or awkward position (which will change your normal anchor comfortzone)while worrying about their no-peep. Using my tru peep , no matter what position , when I come to full draw it's right there. I use a 1/4" peepfor hunting and I've spent alot of time hunting cedar swamps. If there ever comes a time when I cant see my pins , it's past legal shooting hours and I shouldn't be releasing an arrow at a deer anyway.

Just my thoughts on a product I've tried myself , take them as you will.

RE: No-Peep's coming off
 

I really dont see what the problem is whether you shoot with the NP or a regular peep on the string.If you bend at the waist why would anything change.?
Personally I shoot alot better with the NP,and practise consistent form,and follow through.
As a reasurance,it does take a little attention during shot sequence,but knowing when everything is lined up perfectly,the arrow will hit where desired.
If you practise enough,as any bowhunter should,the NP is probably quicker then the peep.
To each his own,and thats just my oppinion.

RE: No-Peep's coming off
 

I love the concept of the no peep, and I couldn't beat the price I got on it with a stick, but I just couldn't get the accuracy with it. I went from shooting 370-390 at my local 3d to 330-340. I shot it for about a month, and it came off. I'll just shoot with both eyes open under low light conditions with a standard peep. it's ashame because I really liked it.
