I'll second the Timberline No-Peep. Lately, I've noticed my form slipping a bit and I just can't seem to put it all back together. I'll be putting my No-Peep back on for a while to get everything settled down. I still prefer a peep sight, but I've used the NP in the past for a couple months at a clip just to get my form back in line.

It works!

Matt great post ,if you I'd seen it a year ago I could've cut my setup time in half although learning the hard way sometimes has it's benefits.
Extreme, I have mine setup so that it looks pretty much like the pic Matt posted but I think I know what your asking as far as putting the no-peep between the riser and sight, I thought about trying that but I'm not sure you could do the fine tuning very easy depending on what kind of sight bar you have, I have a Copper John on my Dually and it looks like it would be a b&*$h to get to the side screws. I'll have to look at it a little closer though.

if you love not having a peep i would look into the eradicator bow site. i will never use another site . it is just like my rifle and muzzleloader sites. i could never shoot with pins and a string peep. too many angles and torque issues that i could never do consistantly. this solved my problems, www.eradicator.com

I've been using the no-peep for a few years and I like it a lot. However, I think it's very important to do a couple things before setting it up. Otherwise, it does become very mechanical and will not only slow your pre-shop preparation down, but will probably not work very well with hunting when you're in a state of high excitement.

I think it's vitally important to have a solid, repeatable anchor and grip before attempting to use the no-peep. Using a string peep to establish this anchor is probably not a good way to do it. In my experience, most people establish their anchors from the position of the peep. It should be done the other way around. When I come to anchor, 99% of the time everythings in alignment and the no-peep only serves to verify this. No adjustment in grip or anchor is needed. Because of this, I hardly ever look at it anymore and that is how I think it should be. If you cannot get to the same point, I think you will find the no-peep slows you down and frustrates you when shooting at live game. In my opinion, developing a repeatable grip and anchor is about the only way to maximize the effectiveness of the No-peep. If you don't find the bubble coming to the exact same position everytime you come to anchor, you need to work on your anchor and/or grip. Once the consistancy is obtained, then adjust the no-peep to perfectly center the bubble. Once you have a really solid, repeatable grip and anchor, things "click" when you come to full draw. You have great confidence and the no-peep is only used as an occasional verification that nothing has moved on the bow. When you get to this point, you can draw, anchor and shoot quicker than using any other method.

If you use it as a device to position your anchor and to change your grip pressures, each time you draw (in order to center the bubble), I believe it will not very work well for you.
