I can't use a peep sight I am not sure if my glasses are the issue or just can't seem to focus on a pin. Either way I can't find a good alternative. I am wondering if by practicing a good solid anchor position one can shoot accurately without a peep. I seem to be doing ok but I have to close my eyes for a second and make sure my anchor is the same every shot. Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you | ||

There are several options. The one that comes to mind first is kind of "old school" but it still works. Install a kisser button on your string. Once you get it dialed in, serve it onto the string. Or you could use something like the Peep Eliminator (http://www.peepeliminator.com/). I've known guys that have installed Red Dot sights on their bows with good result as well. | |||

First of all, have you checked what eye is your dominant eye? If you shoot right handed and is left eye dominant, it can cause a problem. I am using a peep now, but I have been shooting bows without a peep or a kisser for 20 years before I started to use a peep on my new bow that I got last year. With enough practice you manage fine without a peep or a kisser, but it is very important that you have an anchor point that is very quick, easy and consistent to find. A kisser is very good to find your anchor point fast. I think many using a peep would still benefit a lot by using a kisser as well. A red dot bow sight as Shof mentions together with a kisser is a very good alternative if you are left eye dominant and don't want to shoot left handed. | |||

I use a peep with a built in corrective lens, works great and I don't have to wear my glasses. I have also found the green and yellow fiber optic pins work better in low light for me. C.G.B. | |||

If you orient your bow vertically rather than angled, DAS' SRH sight is quick and useful. It is made in three different sizes, left-handed and right-handed, plain outline and florescent. I have available a left-handed florescent "B" size were you interested. It, and the remainder of my archery equipment are being sold. I have severe MCTD and can no longer practice archery/bowhunting. It's so simple to be wise. Just think of something stupid to say and then don't say it. Sam Levinson | |||

There is always the instinctive method which works on compounds as well as recurves and longbows. Just takes a lot of practice. It allows you to shoot faster and in lower light but makes it tough to correct a miss on your second arrow, if the critter is still there. | |||

Two suggestions to think about -- dont' know if they'll help. One, go with the largest peep you can find and two, make sure that you are not losing a portion, or even all, of the aperature to string twist. I've had that problem and had to either torque the string before I drew or have the peep replaced in the string. | |||

Oh, yeah. You can drill out a peep if you can't find one big enough to suit you. | |||

There's a new titanium peep on the market with large diameters. http://www.archerytalk.com/vb/...hlight=titanium+peep Don_G ...from Texas, by way of Mason, Ohio and Aurora, Colorado! | |||

Thank You all for the advice. I am going to try a new larger peep that is properly installed before anything. | |||
