No-Peep sight aid

[BT]

For anyone having problems with their peep or just wanting to learn how to shoot without one , this is a great product/tool

My son (a few years back) just could not use a peep effectively and was very frustrated...to the point of giving up on shooting.
This was the thing that fixed it

I don't know how good I am at explaining how it works but basically it is viewed as an alignment bubble in as much as what it appears to be.

There are two bubbles , one large hollow and one small solid and the object is to position the level of the bow so that the small one centers itself in the middle of the big one.

Once set , you use the level to achieve your anchor and then just aim and shoot.

It is very inexpensive and super effective.

One draw back is that at twilight you cannot see it and a light directed onto it is needed.

On the other hand...After much use , you should not need it at all as you will be come accustomed to anchoring in the same spot since this is the primary step with the no-peep as opposed to a peep.

I was going to give one a try, but found out with my anchor point I look directly through the string anyways. I didn't want to change my anchor so I stayed with what I had. The peep works great for me.

Here is a tip for peep shooters.
Drill the apature(or replace the insert depending on the type and style) of the peep so that when you are at your anchor point you can see a slight amount of daylight around your pin guard. For aiming, Instead of trying to center your small pin in the middle of the large circle created by the peep apature center the large circle created by the pin guard. You get a circle in a circle effect that is much easier to center(very simmilar to looking at the end of the Nopeep) Once you have the two circles centered put the correct yardage pin on target and let it fly. This is how my Grandpa(master peep shooter) tought me to shoot a peep on a rifle. By using this method you are not changing your anchor point for the different yardage pins by trying to center them in the peep. You are basically centering the entire pin group with the pinguard and adjusting your torso to place the correct pin on target. This way your anchor is never going to change, as it should not. It carries over to archery equipment and is the most consistant way to shoot with peep. If this doesn't make sence let me know and i will try to clarify.

You brought up a good point there.

You should never change your point of view to match the pin within the peep.

Using a set peep location and then simply lifting into the next pin is the correct way of doing it and you will also close up your pin gap more than if you were to center each pin

PERSONALLY. I prefer to use a VERY small peep (as EVERYTHING is much sharper, pin and target at the same time). I DO use a similar system though. I center the peep inside of the pin ring, ANYTIME I see the orange ring, I know the peep is not PERFECTLY aligned (and with a small peep, it is less important). I always keep the peep centered on the pin guard ring, not a pin. This keep me on target, and my pins VERY clear. I use my left eye to look at the target. You can actually cover the far side of your pins and still shoot perfectly by using your dominant eye to see JUST your pins, and your other eye to see JUST the target.

I follow your style myself Mahly and it is very effective.

This is just what I do, I use a HHA slide sight and it has agreen ring around the hood. I use a 1/4 " peep and I can see the green ring inside edge of the peep.
