specialty archery makes one for short ata bows w/ a different string angle. your sight aperture should fit perfectly inside your peep, perfectly.

I know about specialty archery.

That's a target shooter's mentality on that. There are too many variations on shapes and sized of sight apertures. What do you do if you have a square sight? Or, the diameter is larger than the one you used to use? Or, smaller?

Many hunters go with larger peeps in order to collect more light that the smaller peeps do not provide. The sight is not always filling the peep window. however, you do have to have it centered.

I can keep mine in the middle even with a large gap around it. Good shooters who practice a lot can do that.

Back on topic... in the same vein as Gibblet's suggestion of trying the Timberline No-Peep, I'd recommend looking into the Anchor Sight. I put one on a few months ago and I've found it MUCH easier to see and to adjust than the No-Peep.

Corvus,

Thanks for the link. That's an interesting product.

In the case of people that do not want to use peeps or have issues with them products like this and the no-peep are good ideas.

Thanks for the help guys. I figured it out. I looked at my form and anchor point in the mirror last night.I didn't have my anchor point up high enough. I checked my anchor point with my eyes chosed and found out that I was shooting with my anchor a littlelow. Moved my peep down and I was able to see the sight ring. I actually had to move my sight in to get it perfect. You guys are great. It is alot more fun to learn to do things yourself with help from you guys than to take your bow to the proshop.

If you have a solid anchor point for every shot the peep size does not matter.
Good call Dave. I believe someone owes you an apology.
