Buckeye, will you draw yours and see if it gets in the sight anywhere at all, maybe you dont notice it because you have all those pins on the right?

Ash

By doing that it pushes the cables about 1/4 inch further into my sight picture.....

I think we are about to uncover the problem. That along with the sight being close to the sight window maybe what we are looking for.

Im 6'1 and I just measured it, its 6 1/4 exactly. Remember, we had the peep untied sliding it. I had it about 3 inchs from the loop and the string was much better but still covered about 10% of the sight. After that was gave up and I was going to go to no peep sights but he came up with this idea of the side peep. I was doing it in my lunch hour which turned out to be 2 hours and I just took it.

Once I got home I couldnt get used to the side peep due to its size. But the answer is yes, if I lower the peep and lower my sight the the lowest two brackets, the cable is barley in the sight at 20 yards but I want it with no cable in my sight.

So buck your saying it does put the cable into your sight picture at that height? Did you check at your normal height to see if any cable at all came into your sight where your pins come from?

Its 6 1/4, I eyed it the first time not thinking less than a inch was important but I was wrong.

At my normal anchor the cables are just flirting with my sight picture.
This is common though, as most every bow I have owned you will still slightlysee the cables while aiming.

The farther the cables are pulled over the more torque is placed on the bow.

Outside diameter is 2 1/4" on my sight housing.
