how many use a no-peep ?
 

Well with summer almost here its time to tinker and experiment with equipment. Thinking of trying a no-peep type device. Would like to hear from those who use them both good and bad reviews and comments. I am looking at putting it on a hunting bow not a target one if that makes a difference.

RE: how many use a no-peep ?
 

I tried it for long enough to know I didn't like it. If I was to loose the peep I would shoot just like a traditional archerusingsights. Meaning no peep and no device. Clear as mud?:D

I use a no peep, literally, no peep at all, just a kisser and a ball of serving on the string that hits my nose. And when I do my thing, I still get 4 inch groups at 25 yards.

I'm using 2 at the moment.
I recently pulled the no-peep off my Mathews and placed it on my Patriot since the one that was on the Pat was placed on the Tribute- it's like a regular old swap meet at my house:D.

I was shooting the Pat without it at 30 yards and that I was doing good until one group of flyers made me break out the wrenches.

The good thing about one is you don't have to look at it, but it's nice to use it to check that you are being consistent if you want to. Draw, anchor, glance up make sure it's right, aim and shoot.
If you don't want to look at it- nobiggie, you'll still hit the target.

The first doe I shot last year Idon't remember looking at it at all and still squared her true. The second deer I was at full draw and anchored when for some reason I checked it and sure enough the odd position I was in had caused me to torque the bow without realizing or feeling it. Imade the needed correction (a slight twist of the wrist) and then let the arrow loose-> paydirt. It would have probably landed just fine if I didn't correct the situation,but since I had the no-peep to check I know I did my part and let the broadhead do its.

There not for everyone, but I like 'em.

BTW, you can usually find a used one since they are a love hate item. The haters make good sellers;)

Love that NO-PEEP!Wouldn't have a hunting bow without one:D

i like mine for my hunting bow too.

I used to use a no-peep when I used to shoot compounds. I liked it much better then the string peep.

I have one on my hunting bow and my basic comments are the same as Dave's;)

RE: how many use a no-peep ?
 

I used to use one. It was a huge improvement over the string peep, and I loved it...for a while. The best thing about the no-peep is that it makes you become consistent. After a while, I found that it was just completely unnecessary, and I pulled it off my bow. Now, I use a tied-on kisser and a consistent anchor point and that's it.

I installed mine back on this year..

RE: how many use a no-peep ?
 

I just ordered a new one for my new Switchback XT. I wouldn't EVER go back to a peep. The No Peep eliminates so many habitual problems that I don't know why everyone doesn't use one. [8D]

RE: how many use a no-peep ?
 

I have used two no peeps...one on a Mathews Outback, and one on a Mathews Ultra Max. I liked it on the Outback, but thought I shoot better with a peep. I think that me be because I didn't have a solid anchor point. I'm now trying the no-peep with a kisser button to see how that works.

On the Ultra Max the no peep was a nightmare. The UltraMax has a good bit of vibration to it, and the no-peep would not hold up. It kept vibrating loose at the set screws, causing it to move around. As I said, absolute nightmare. But, with todays low vibration bows this should not be a problem...just something to consider for those of us that still use an older bow. (And I superglued the set screws on my Outback to make sure it didn't move.)

Terry---No-Peep user here and love it.I will never go back to a regular peep again.Like Dave said,its either a love or hate thing with the NP and it seems to be a half-half thing with the members on this board.
The only negative about the NP that I can think of is setting it up,a real pain your first time around.It will get easier your second time if you ever replace bows or just want to tinker with your current bow.Best advise I can give is have a friend help with the bow at full draw for the last final adjustments.Move in VERY small incresments,I mean very small,its touchy .
I placed mine under the pins and found it to perform better in this fashion.With a rock solid anchor,which you will acquire with the NP is very accurate,especially in hunting situations and at hunting distances.
Biggest positive with the NP is no peep on the string to twist,blur vision during low light conditions.Rock solid anchor,very consistent,and takes weight off string making for a faster arrow flight.
I have weighed all the possibilities when considering purchasing a NP and the positives were far greater then the negatives.Very glad I went this route and will never look back.
I am going to Toronto this summer with the family for a week to attend a wedding,we can get together along with nubo and set the bows up.
If there is anything you need just holler.

Sound's pretty good to me Jason.

Not sure which one your talking about but if it's the one with the cross hairs in the rear, I didn't care for it. The white hairs were to hard to see and they blocked a gooddeal of the target and I couldn't get the pin centered enough in the middle of the hairs. Took the hairs off and replaced it with a pin and it was much better.

There was a time when people didn't use peeps and some of them are the legends of today. The ones I've read about don't encourage me to loose mine as they boasted a success rate of 25%. One in four of their shafts hit the mark (hunting). They would go out hunting with 50 or more shafts.Just something to think about.

different device nodog. you don't look thru the no-peep at your sight.

RE: how many use a no-peep ?
 

I use a knot tied to my string instead of a Kisser Button. The reason is that the knot costs me from 1 to 2 fps in speed where the Kisser Buttln can take as much as 10 fps.

I am not a speed geek but I don't want to give up any more than I need to.

RE: how many use a no-peep ?
 

I believe you were talking about the Hindsight nodog.

RE: how many use a no-peep ?
 

Well, I think I've heard enough.Looks like I need to order a no-peep. Lots of time over the summer to figure out if its for me or not.


Extreme1, Nubo. Sounds like a plan, refreshments to follow?

RE: how many use a no-peep ?
 

Terry.

Just go to nubo's place and get the one I sent him;), he'll never figure out how to install it anyway:);):D

Hey Aussie,
Actually he has it mounted on his binoculors, I just didn't want to say anything but I thought that didn't look right :D
