Default No peep adjustment w/ sight

I just installed a new rest and would like to adjust the sight up a bit because it's interferring with the arrow fletching with this new rest and the pins can not go down and further. I use a no peep. The sights are still about right on from the rest change, they need to go lower but cannot. To make this adjustment do I have the circle go up or down in the no peep after raising the whole sight globe, I'm thinking NO, or do I raise or lower the location of the no-peep? I'm thinking down but need some reasurrance. I would like to set this before paper tuning. I'm shooting a bowtech tech 29 with QAD drop rest and trophy ridge flatliner sight. Thanks.

Kinda had some trouble understanding your problem...but heres my 2 cents

just a thought... if your fletchings were not touching the sight before you installed the rest, then you installed the rest to high... maybe lower the rest. You should bare shaft and paper tune your rest so you know its in the right location... then if you need to make adjustments do so. If it was me I'd tune the rest, then adjust the no peep, then adjust the sights. but im noteven close to an expert.

A picture would sure help a lot. Sounds like your nock point is possibly far off or you have a "different"anchorpoint than most.

Each change made to nock height will require a nopeep adjustment.

IMHO there is no magic which way to go with the no-peep. A circle in a circle after the bow is tuned and you are at full draw with all your nocking points adding up- that's where to adjust it.

You make the bow right first, adjust the no-peep toa circle in cirlce afterwards.

Once the bow and all gear is dialed in; draw back & hit your anchor points with your eyes closed and then open them (one or two depending on how you shoot) with the pin on the target glance at the no-peep This is where it needs to be a circle in circle.

Watch out on how you adjust it because it doesn't care if you are torquing the bow or not, how ever you set it up is how it will be unless you change it. Set it up with a lot of torque induced on the grip and that is where it will have you shooting shot after shot. If your group sized open up after adjusting then you need to go back the direction you started.

Good luck with it.

I guess I will just tune the new rest first and that will confirm my knock point and everything else. Then I will worry about setting my sights and no-peep. I will switch the location of the no-peep if this problem continues. I think I can eventually find a spot that will work. I had no problems with my old rest and sight, so I know it's possible to get this to work well. I will not go back to a regular peep after having used the no-peep for about 3 years.

I am just starting to play with the no peep but here is how I see it. You first need to get your rest /sight combo tuned so you get no contacts. Then you adjust the no peep last to work with your individual hold/anchor. You may also have to make slight adjustments toyou nock height to line up with the new rest. Then confirm everything is straight by shooting through paper.
