I wonder if this would work well without the crosshairs
If your peep is slightly rotated, twist your d loop in the direction the peep is biased toward. This should square it up.
This looks really interesting. I've been considering going peepless next year since I missed out on a doe this year right at last light since I couldn't see her through my peep. Can anyone comment on how their experience with this product has been? I'm hesitant to add another piece of equipment onto my bow, but this might be worth it if others have had good experience.get rid of the peep and go with this No peep sight required and works great for people with rx glasses.

Alright, you got an entry level bow. They come with a tube style peep because they know they're strings are going to stretch and twist on the shooter. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with that, it's just the truth. Depending on how much you shoot, your string should have settled stretching by now.I bought a new Bear Species LD in July 2021. It came with their trophy ridge package, so basic 4 pin sight, whisker biscuit and 6in stabilizer. I have it set to 31in draw length. I took off the wrist sling and replaced d loop once, otherwise everything is stock. I have a peep with the tube. I switched to a trufire synapse release from a trufire smoke.

Wanted to give an update. I've spent the past few months working on my mechanics and being consistent every time, even with the peep rotation. I decided to buy some catfish custom strings to eliminate the possibility of the peep rotation being due to bad strings. I went to Grand Valley Sporting Goods again and I was bummed to see I'd be helped by the same guy as last time, but I gave him another try. Told him I wanted my strings replaced and a tubeless peep. Also told him I was thinking of trying a clarifier and magnifier since I was having a hard time seeing the target. He told me I could just run a clarifier, and when I came back to pick up my bow another employee said he was wrong and I would likely need both for a clarifier to benefit me. We got my peep height set and I was so happy with the new strings and tubeless peep, until I got home and saw one of my limbs was cracked. I went back and while they deny breaking it they are fixing it. In the end it seems new strings and a quality tubeless peep will be my answer.
That will be my next big purchase. As nervous as I am about learning to use a press I'm just as nervous about bringing it to a shop now.I suggest building a home bow shop with a last chance ez green press. This is why no one touches my bow.

The bow tech said "usually when we crack em in the press we hear it" lol. He said the crack was in the "usual spot" when a Bear bow cracks in a press, however my crack was shorter in length. Idk maybe it was a defect. When I was buying my bow they had to set one aside to return back to Bear because the cam was visibly bent.@Nutterbuster or someone else might know
Can you crack limbs by pressing withOUT fully relaxing limbs?
I must admit that I do not relax my limbs by turning the bolts out before pressing, despite hearing to do this.
My reasoning is that I do not press them past the point that they move during a normal draw. I can tell because when I pull up on the string, there just isn't near enough slack to reach my draw length.
How else could a bow shop crack a limb besides derailing/dry firing/uncovering a bow defect?
Is it critical to relax limbs before pressing? If so, I've gotten lucky then. I have no excuse not to because I always run my bolts bottomed out, so it isn't like I have to count turns or find some spot (just crank them back down).
That shop would never see my money. When we crack them we usually hear them. How many they breaking. When I bought a new Bowtech back in 2012 the shop said they needed to call to see where to press from I asked for my bow untouched and went straight home and ordered a press. Working on your own stuff is not hard. Just write down measurements and what you do so if needed you can undo and start over. Oh and a twist or 3 in that original string would’ve brought that peep back in line.The bow tech said "usually when we crack em in the press we hear it" lol.
