Peep sight versus no peepsight. I am 55 years old. I have been having difficulty seeing targets through my peep sight even though it was drilled out. I am thinking of maybe looking at larger style peeps or going to a kisser button. Anyone who has experienced a similar problem or who may offer a solution would be appreciated.

Try a Timberline No-Peep. It gets rid of all of the low light issues of the peep sight, and might be just the thing you are looking for.

I have had one on my bow for the last 2 years and absoloutely love it.

Stop being vain and go get glasses.

Certain vision problems, serious or non-serious, are improved or worsened when trying to look through a small aperture, in low or bright light.

If your vision is improved by looking through a small pinhole, you will cancel out any benefit by enlarging the " peep" hole. Then it becomes " Catch 22." Your field of view will be very small and low light will be your worst enemy.

If distant objects are blurred, you have become " nearsighted." Go to an eye doctor and have glasses made specifically for hunting and shooting conditions. I have " lineless bifocals" ….which automatically gives you " trifocals" at less cost than asking for " trifocal lenses."

Tell the eye doctor you want the midrange portion of the lens to clearly focus starting at about 24" to 30" . You should be able to clearly focus through your peep, pick up your pin, and have clear vision to any distance you will be shooting, and normally more. I had mine adjusted to sharply pick up the rear and front handgun sights held at arms length and found they work very well with my bow out to several hundred yards.

If your vision problem cannot be corrected for peep use, he or she will know and know why.

OR, dump the peep as I did....but still have your vision checked....or glasses checked for updating prescription.

The new Hind sight helped me and has helped
my shooting improve also!!

Drill that baby out alittle more! Practice shooting from your anchor point only! Last shoot with both eyes open...very important!!!!

Good Luck!

I agree AND disagree with Cloud 9.
Agree that you should keep BOTH eyes open...very important
DIS_Agree that it' s the last thing to try. Try it FIRST
If you still can' t see the pins well, get lighted pins.

I' m nearsinghted , wear contacts . A 1/4" peep sight and impact cosmic sight offer a very clear sight picture for me . The cosmic sight has 3' of fiber opptic to make it very bright . If you find that going to a 1/4 or slightly larger peep does not work for you then I would second coyote' s sugestion try out a hind sight , they work pretty well , I could not use the nopeep thing it was garbage to me .
