Another boring report – No-Peep
After over 15 yrs of hunting with a peep sight I figured this system could be improved and bought a No-Peep.
I easily mounted it above my sight and in front of my riser. I put it in front of the riser to keep it close to the pins and easily in my peripheral view.
It took 22 pulls to get it aligned (I did it alone), about 25 mins. I set it up so the string was to the right of my right eye (I am a righty) . This did not feel comfortable to me so I re-set it (another 15 mins.) to anchor with the string to the left of my right eye with my nose touching the string. This is a very natural anchor for me and only slightly different then the way I used to anchor.
This thing is great!! <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle> Once it is set up it aligns every time.
The first bunch of shots I focused on the no-peep a little to much, but after shooting for a while you do not need to look at it. In the position I had it mounted it was easy to see in my peripheral view and it is not distracting at all. It is also easy to just give it a glance as you get to full draw and then forget about it.
You do not need to struggle to keep the dot in the center of the ring, the instructions say that if any of the ring is in the sight window you can still shoot group 2” circles at 20 yds.
It is amazing how this thing will keep your form true. Once you know the bow is tuned for your grip and anchor you can be sure your form is on when the no-peep is aligned up. No more doubts about awkward positions while hunting.
One thing I did notice is that when I aimed the bow down at a steep angle that the dot slid out of the ring. I am definitely loosing my form when shooting at steep angles and will work on that this winter. This is something I never realized before and picked up on the first night I installed the No-Peep.
No more low light problems with my old peep, perfect form every shot from every angle, I would recommend this to anyone looking for a peep alternative.

RE: Another boring report – No-Peep
ill ditto your call on the no-peep.
it can take some tinkering though to get it right. (i think a 2nd person is quite handy for this. draw back to where you want to be and have the other person adjust it and tighten it before you let down)
as for low light...it seems to me that it works about as long as the fiber optic pins i have on my sight.
mine is set so i look on the left side of the string (like you had it to start).

RE: Another boring report – No-Peep
I've been using the NP for a couple of years now and wouldn't be without it on my hunting bows.
Like you mentioned, it REALLY helps show form and alignment flaws when shooting downward angles or in awkward positions in treestands.
I think their mounting systems could be a bit better, but still it is a great product with many satisfied customers.

RE: Another boring report – No-Peep
I use one and think it's a fantastic product. I never knew how much a little different grip pressure could torque a bow unitl I had the no-peep on my bow. A very slightly different grip pressure will move the bubble on the no-peep, making you aware of the different torque.

RE: Another boring report – No-Peep
When they were first introduced they became popular almost overnight...but I really haven't seen or heard much about them lately. I never tried one myself....which is unusual since I always like to tinker with new gadgets. Maybe it is time I tried one out...
Anyone out there with a negative comment on the No-Peep?
