Setting your peep

[hnsb]

Let's talk about peep sights. (I know a couple of you are using the no-peep (or not using a peep at all) so this will be irrelavent for you)

Try to get your peep set up to match your natural eye position with natural form at full draw. That sounds like a mouthful, but it's not too tough. Just close your eyes, draw the bow and settle in to a natural anchor. Now open your eyes and see where the peep is at. It should line up perfectly with your eye and whatever pin you use the most at full draw. If it doesn't, move it. You shouldn't have to move your anchor point to accomodate peep alignment once you hit full draw.

Note that you will have to re-sight after moving your peep.

One thing to add to that.

The description of how to locate the peep is very good but you must first have a comfortable anchor location.

While your eyes are closed , feel around and find that perfect spot and then open your eye's

You can also start by putting the peep in the string at 4.5" above the nocking point which is very close to being an average height.

I have found that 4 to 4.5" fits 90% of the people I deal with.

WOW! I never knew that Bowtech I just put it where it felt comftorable and I could seee all my pins gona check my measurments in a bit ;D Thanks again I am learning so much here on your site

when i reach full draw and anchor,my peep site is the same diameter as my PSE F18 sight ring,so i dont need to select the correct pin with the peep.i just make sure that the peep an site ring are "one" an im golden.

Sight rings are a great thing!

You have a good system there huntinglover

I set my peep the same as hunting glover, I just center the peep with the ring and its golden, but I only use 1 pin, I dont shoot past 20 yds and most of my shots are at 10, By the way its a viper predator hunter sight

I've also found that your 4 - 4.5" is pretty close BT: the longer draw length's and shorter bows tend towards 4.5 or a bit more. When I ask someone to close their eyes and feel around I also have them turn towards me (eyes shut) and then back to target again to break their concentration and find the "natural" anchor point and form they might fall into later when tired.

I must anchor really low... I'm at around 5 3/4"

You and me both. I've been called "Misshapen".

Other than the rubber tube, how do you keep a peep from rotating so much?
I just put one on my wife's bow and I don't want her to get too frustrated with it and quit because the peep doesn't line up every time.
