Anything in particular that motivated you to take the anchor sight off and switch back to a peep?
Two things, one it is harder to mount of some of the single pin slider mounts. I could make it work with my HHA but didn't like how it was setup.Anything in particular that motivated you to take the anchor sight off and switch back to a peep?

More importantly I think when its time to actually shoot game you should be able to shoot completely naturally. The anchor sight was just another distraction once my form issues were fixed.
One of my best friends still using his older Timberline no peep (which I prefer but almost impossible to find). He is one of the best archery shots I know and normally places at most shoots we go to which isn't often. I know he won't be taking his off but his is smaller and more out of the way. I may have left mine on if it wasn't a distraction..
Low light conditions it don't help. Now, the torquing the riser it will show that. But looking thru a peep, you can directly align that to a sight (pin). Now with that said, with the anchor sight you have to look around the string (especially in low light). Ok, imagine if you draw on a deer, (low light). Your trying to find the anchor dot, and unconsciously you torque your bow slightly but you find your dot with your face away from the string more than normal. You release, you miss. Now this is my opinion and that's my reasoning. To others it may be the best thing since sliced bread. So to his ownCan you elaborate why you consider it junk? I have zero experience with the anchor sight and shooting without a peep sight for that matter... I just thought this was a very interesting concept and would like to hear advice/opinions before committing to a purchase/changing what I'm used to on my bow. Thanks

Thanks for the responses. I'm convinced that I will give it a try, probably after this season though, too afraid to make any drastic change at this point... How long did it take you guys to get it dialed in and then how long to become confident with it?
I simply just don't like them. I go hog hunting at night and don't have any issues with a peep. Get a good anchor point, I like a kisser button also, align the peep with the sight housing and let it fly.
Now if you ask 100 people what is the best sandwich you'll have 100 different answers. None is the wrong answer, just sinc some prefer one over others.
I don't use anything with my recurve but that's another story
My right eye (the eyes aim with) is half plastic. Only have tunnel vision out of it and it don't dilate like my other eye. Its also has a fixed vision distance, meaning it won't focus. That's why I tried it. It didn't work for me, so i went to a large peep.I think that is perfectly okay! I know not everyone is going to like it. There’s nothing that everyone likes.
For me because I have a slight astigmatism in my right eye targets at a distance, especially in low light become less clear for me. Which makes it difficult to hit a small point. Getting the peep out from in front of my eye makes it all clear up. That was my main reason for getting it, then I realized how I never line up wrong or torque the bow because I have the anchor sight.
