Peepless pin sight

[cedar paul]

Been using Bow Anchor sight for years and now have added a Bomar nose button. Olympic archers do pretty good out to 90m without a peep. Repeatable form is what we are striving for- if you stand on your head and can still your target that is the main thing. That being said being able to replicate the same action multiple times in a row is the hardest thing for the human mind/ body to do. Consistency is the name of the game.

Cool I was hoping someone who actually used these would comment. You've been using it for awhile now what are your thoughts on it and durability? Any negative aspects? What about weather/waterproof ability? Also, what kind of bow sight do you use with it? I would think it would be difficult to mount if you were using a dovetail type mount for your actual bowsight.

Shooting peepless is great, but does take practice. I've been doing it now for about six months and have had to really learn and pay attention to my shot process more.

There were times when I would shoot amazing and then go out the next day and everything was way off. This was because of inconsistencies that I didn't realize I had, which may have not had as great of an impact when using a peep.

Having three anchor point references, working on grip, and lining my string up on the same spot every time has given me the confidence to make the shot when it counts.

Make sure to practice a lot before you get out hunting.

There are also these devices available to consider if you don't want to use a peep:

Archery Innovations – Archery's Anchor Sight - OR-

Adjustable Red Dot Mount

I have no affiliation with nor have I used either but I am kind of a sight junkie and do review these things always looking for the better mouse trap. I have read and heard good things about the Anchor Sight. The second one has resurfaced this year. This concept was originally developed by Claud Pollington who also bought Onieda Eagle bows back in the mid to late 1990's. I do know the red dots they use on these sights are high quality still used in the pistol target shooting world and I believe are USA made. I have thought about picking one of the scopes up for my mini crossbow but my Bushnell seems to work fine so far still.

the archery innovations anchor sight looks like it is essentially an IQ sight without the sight

The Bow Anchor sight does much more than a peep does for example it keeps you honest when shooting those steep angles either up or down. Also it will tell you if you are applying torque to the riser affecting your right and left misses. People think that you have to concentrate on it as much as your pin or my case the spot( using the EZV) but it just takes a quick glance before taking your shot. It also has a glow disc you can charge up with your flashlight so you are ready at dawn or dusk. The great thing is you set it up to your natural anchor so you are not fighting head position. Also it has tick marks in the reticle that you can use for those in between distances either shorter or longer than your pin settings.

I use a mouth button and hindsight. The hindsight let’s you know if you are torquing your bow. Works awesome. I’m getting ready to add the nose button as well for two points of contact. I have to have something to consistently anchor to because I’m right eye dominant but shoot left handed. Hindsight is the big key

that i like, i might look into that at some point. i see they have a glass aperture one too, but i think i like this one better. i see the ones with 2 pins and 4 pins, but the 2 pins are on the same plane, did you just remove 2 from the 4 pin crosshair style?

I have the Spotthog fast Eddie 2 pin adjustable sight. Was using because much easier to adjust for the heavier arrows I was playing with. Once I got it set I locked in sight as of a fixed pin. Then lined the hind sight to the bottom pin. When looking at sights the hindsight lines up to bottom pin and will tell you if your torquing or not. I sighted top pin to 25 yards and hold accordingly on closer deer. I rarely shoot out of 30 yards which is what the hindsight is lined up with but then I know I’m good if I happen to get that longer shot. Hope that helps. This is the hindsight I use. I cut the 2 upper crosshairs off for better view. Plus the crosshairs glow in low light!

I should've done this years ago, it took no time to dial it in without a peep, just slide slid my pins to the left. As long as my form is correct, I have had just as good if not better groups than shooting with a peep.

I shoot bow right, guns left, write left, throw and bat right. Left eye dominant

It makes a difference. You just need to figure what works best to make the adjustment. Good luck this season!

I write left, eat left everything else right.... right eye dominant too. Some things I do both with. I can hit right and left and hammer right and left.

Make sure to shoot from a tree. That’s when I decided to go back to a peep. Odd angles, bending or twisting….harder to stay consistent. Workable, but not as easy as ground shooting.

 

[RamBam]

I use both hands. My right more then my left but I’m very flexible on guns and bows. But ! My dominant eye does not change. My left eye is the bread winner. I just had a bow serviced at a shop by my current job sight. They looked at me crazy when they put it in a press for the peep. I said no peep just a nose button. Proceeded to drill a tuning dot out of there target. I love the visibility and I shoot some trad so it just works.

That’s where the 2 points of contact with the hindsight works great. Kisser button/Nose button. Then hindsight makes sure your not torquing the bow.

I thought of trying a hindsight a few years ago....I'm afraid the eyes couldn't do it these days. I just switched from a 5 pin Axiom to an old single pin Vital Gear. So much easier to see. I don't need "pins", I need to be able to see one pin well.

Peeps are a 3rd-string easter candy. Why would I need that on a bow?
