Got rid of the peep today. I wanted initially to get the Timberline Nopeep-nobody around here carries it. A call to Cabela's confirms that don't have the Nopeep either, but they do carry the Hindsight. After a little research, I decided it might be worth a try. Just like the Nopeep, this is best a two man job. The gentleman helping me was outstanding and took his time. I was afraid the reticles would clutter my sight picture, but with my single pin sight, that didn't happen. I could see where the sight picture would get busy with a multipin sight. The Hindsight can only be set to one pin at one distance. This is no problem in a hunting situation for me, since I only shoot out to 25 yds. This might present some difficulty in 3d shoots at distances over 30yds. For example, I would have to guess holdover on a 40yd target with my 20yd pin. Just moving the front sight will mess up alignment.

I wish you would have told me before you got it because I have a new one that I would have happily sent you to try. By the way...you mentioned Cabela's.... Our sponsor Keystone country stores can beat their prices , delivers to your house in 2 days I believe and they have everything that you're going to be looking for as to archery hunting. Click on the link picture at the top of the page and it will take you to their site. I tried the hind site myself and it worked fine. In some respects like low light , it worked better out of the box than the no-peep which needs a sight lite for assistance. Looking forward to hearing how you like it

Cabelas is about 35miles away from my house and I knew the Hindsight would be an absolute pain in the butt to setup myself. Most of the time I get my archery supplies from my proshop or order online.

I think you will love the hindsight Tracey has had one on her bow since last July and loves it. I've been thinking of switching myself.

I had one for a while, it worked ok for me. I ended up replacing the hind cross hairs with a pin in a different color than the pin on the sight. With the 2 lined up and the way your eyes focus you could see right through the first to the second.
