Can't get enough of your channel- every time I hear you say "you're lazy" I pat myself on the back and say to myself "let em call you crazy, at least you're not lazy..."
Spot on as usual Troy. Haven’t used a peep in 30 years. Saw the issues right away and ended up putting a string dot served onto the bow string then when it was where I wanted it I epoxied it, painted it white and then glow in the dark paint. No issues since then. Thank you for all you do Sir.
I’ve been sending arrows at a target for only about a month now. I have a recurve, and have a dozen assorted arrows that I picked up from Walmart/sportsman’s warehouse. Eight of them are aluminum, four of them are carbon. No idea at the time of purchase what spine was. I’ve gone from not hitting the target to consistently hitting 4” groups. Granted that’s only at 10-15 yards. It’s thanks to Ranch Fairy, and AJA.
I shoot with a peep but as someone who shoots traditional archery too I definitely agree you don’t need a peep on the compound. It’s all about your anchor point and consistent grip
Having that EZ-V Sight makes it nice too when you go peep-less. I finally went with just the EZ-V and Bowmar nose button last year and I have no problem stacking arrows out to 50. That said I am a hunter and not an archer.

If anyone asks u where's your peep just simply tell them that u r an open sight minded person who doesn't need a light inhibitor. It took 25 years but people with no peep r finally surfacing with videos. If u like an open sight picture window u will totally understand this concept if u shoot a recurve or longbow.😮
Totally agree on low light peep sights suck even ones with 1/4” holes. I’m sure many deer have been saved because of that fact. Biggest thing to remember is to write all your peeps, kisser buttons, loops, measurements down from a fixed point on your bow, so if something moves or gets out of wack, you can always put it back.
Left the peep and went to a Hind Sight rear sighting system about 15 years ago....and never looked back. Helps to train and ensure good form. No kissers. Great in low light. Better target view and better accuracy!
Been considering ditching the peep for a while. Back in the day we never used them anyway. This year, I'm doing it. I'm breaking the ties with my peep sight. No more peep!

Great channel RF. After 25+ yrs of bow hunting it is easy to forget what things were like before peep sights and other cool stuff like fiber optic pins and d-loops.
I did this last season and no target panic. No doubt at the shot. And really smoked the buck after they fought. Awesome!
cheers bro. I had this exact prob last night. (I hunt 85% at night) I Draw on an axis deer in the dark, but took about 10 secs to find the peep and get orientated (despite all the practice).. then too late. You've convinced me to go for the kisser! Many thanks from Australia
I love the channel I wish you’d post some hunting videos as well as top notch advice. Keep on keeping on sir!!
I 100% agree! Been doing the same for 30 years.
I haven't read all the comments, however I love using my "hind-sight". Attached to the riser and not the string. Gives you that rear sight, similar to a gun. Doesn't reduce shooting in low light conditions.

Years ago I took my peep out on one of my old Mathews bows. I used this bow on rainy, crappy close quarter situations, but then realized that I could shoot 50 yards accurately with a kisser and barely touching my nose to the string and using a fiber optic sight like you explained. It’s an awesome 3 point sight system that I now use on my Hoyt Vector Turbo and other bows too. It really works good. thanks and I think others do this, especially seasoned hunters that had peep sight issues in the past

Shhh - don’t tell any one - apparently it’s impossible!!!!
Another advantage to this is to adjust or fix a peep, you could be in a situation where you need to press your bow. Whereas you could tie on a new kisser or nose button in the back country no problem.
I started bowhunting in 1990 at age 40. I had the problems you describe and especially low legal light. I tried a kisser but wanted tighter groups. I assembled a rear sight pin which I aligned with my bottom sight pin. Worked OK. Then I bought a Timberline NoPeep. It was an optical device, a forerunner to the Anchor Sight. Still own 3 of them, and 2 Anchor Sights. I even use on my peep sight equipped target bow to detect hand torque before the shot. Never a peep on the hunting bow.
Shooting with glasses for years I could never get "peep comfortable". Shot a technically obsolete, by today's standards, Martin Warthog with a bungy peep for quite a while. Was glad to lose that old tech. Found the Peep Eliminator bow sight and never looked back. I like your rationales about our tendency to repeat whether it is good form or not, I feel this bow sight eliminates a lot of those issues, especially shooting with both eyes open, such as I did in sporting clays. I could elaborate further, but getting a broadhead bullseye one out of five arrows at forty yards with a 4" group, that's ok by me. Thanks for the practical and down to earth vids. Oh, stigmatism and 65yo...lol.
I shoot a blackwidow longbow. No sights,no peep,no fall away rest,no cams, no stabilizer, no hand held release, no let off. And I keep on killing things.

@@adrianhart367 no it just makes him either 1 more talented archer or 2 much more committed and willing to put the time in to become consistent with traditional gear. I shoot a compound but let's be honest with today's bows and technology anyone can pick up a compound and shoot proficient enough to consistently kill deer. To do it traditionally takes alot more time and patience . I think his point was you don't need all the muss and fuss to be a proficient hunter. Sort of like the crossbow compound debate but with more substance haha
I ditched the peep last year and went with the nose button. It's set to contact center of my nose and this takes the string out of my vision. I did have to adjust the sight slightly to the right. First thing I learned was that I can now shoot both eyes open. This was a major plus as now I can see that better target walk in and shift targets that I couldn't before. I can shoot in any light that I couldn't before and I got more accurate at all ranges specially out past forty yards.
For years I used a pair of brass nock sets in place of a peep, about 8 mm apart and Sharpied black. Creates a repeatable notch site on the string. Clamp them medium and adjust height and gap, then clamp down firm to set. They don't, move, rotate, or get out of alignment. Doesn't need a bow press and doesn't need to be tied in place. Can be enhanced with an optional kisser button. This was very accurate. But then again, I was only shooting targets at a fixed 20 yards in my back yard. Due to induced parallax you could miss right or left at greater distances since you are sighting on the side of the string and not through the string.

I removed my peep sight and I'm now more accurate than before. Thanks RF 🇺🇸💪🏽

Does form really matter if you are constantly killing stuff. Lol I think not. Indians were killing animals for thousands of years and nobody showed them the perfect form. They just shot and shot and shot until they could consistently kill stuff.
Thanks for putting it out there. I too don't use a peep. Tried it probably 30 years ago. Had trouble finding my pins in twilight conditions . that was the end of the peep.
Interesting video - I wish you would have depicted what your sight picture looks like without using a peep. Thanks for sharing your rationale.
I got rid of my peep and don't miss it. Having a nose button helps. I 3D printed some anchors for my release hand too to help be consistent.
I have never had a problem hunting with a peep once I got them set up but they can be a pain in the ass getting the string twisted right so they stay where you need them. Kisser buttons though have always seemed to come loose over time. I just use a brass nock in place of a kisser button now and they stays put. Nice thing about archery and setting up a bow is playing around and seeing what works best for you. If it work it works, if it doesn't find something that does.
I also tell people to learn to shoot without a peep and then add a peep later if they so choose. Gets your fundamentals right
Don’t bow hunt, probably never will. But I love your rhetoric and the way you present your data is great! Keep up the good work! Content kicks ace!

YAHOO.... hate peep sights-especially with low light or SNOW... my anchor point does allow the use of a "kisser button" but YAHOO-your nose button idea saved the day.... getting tighter, more consistant groups. pretty good for an 80 year old shooter...never too old to learn ... THANKS
I’m a new shooter totally considering going no peep. I figure if I just start learning that way to begin with. This video just made up my mind thanks
If you're not going to shoot with a peep....consider taking a look at IQ sights. They have an alignment circle at the top of the sight....put the black dot in the middle of the green circle and you're aligned. It at least gives you a secondary alignment point to provide consistency. I've found my IQ sight show me when I'm torquing my bow slightly due to my grip. I'm a western hunter, so 40-50 shots are more the norm and the added accuracy helps.
In 54 years of bowhunting, I have only tried to use a peep sight in a hunting situation once. When I had to let the big boar walk because I couldn't see through the "O" at twilight, next day I couldn't get that peep off fast enough.
As a peep user, I understand. I've also shot traditional at a ren fest and centered a shot on the noise of a zombie. I can see the the ability to adjust when need
Personally... I really enjoy your videos, it's always a good idea to get somebody else's opinion. Especially those with somewhat different ideas. I've been shooting my compound bows instinctively since I got my very first bow. I don't use sights or peeps or anything like that. The only thing that is attached to my bows are cheap plastic flipper rest...they work great for shooting instinctive with fingers. If they break just screw another in. I would love to see you make a video on perhaps shooting instinctively or just your opinion on shooting instinctively with a compound bow.
I like a large 1/4" peep sight in combination with the EZ-V. I have zero issues with my peep. I have it tied in properly along with a quality kisser button. I have small boxjaxs to my string. They do quiet the string. The real benefit however - If I notice the slightest rotation in my peep, I can slide one of those boxjax within the strands a few mm. This corrects any rotation for the next 50-150 shots. My peep matches the housing of the EZ-V sight quite well. If I center my peep, I never have left or right issues with EZ-V sights. The shots are dead center. To shoot without a peep sight, because of the lame reasons given here is not wise advice in my opinion. Have a high qualiy large diameter (good in dim light) peep added. It will enhance your accurancy with the EZ-V. Another tip - I have made the V on my EZ-V sight smaller. I wrapped a thin strip of black electrical tape at the top of each side of the V. The bottom of the black out V is the first tick mark. When it's crunch time, I know everything should range within a smaller V. My eyes are as old as me, & I don't see the tick marks that well. The black tape on top has been a game changer for me. I almost gave up on the EZ-V until I made this slight change. Like the Ranch Fairy, I find stuff still dies shooting this way.
No peep sounds like a no brainer. I will certainly try that. Thanks for your information Regards SteveR
I agree 100% I also scratch a mark on my sights an measure from my nock point to kisser button an write it on the bow so if anything moves i know where it was and the arrow rest just scratch a line from bow to the bracket so you can see if it gets bumps great video great information
I use a peep, and generally get the string twisted correctly so I'm aligned at full draw all the time, but during deer season, the peep will end your day earlier than allowable daylight allows. Especially from a blind, or a dark cloudy day. No hogs to shoot at night here in Atlantic Canada yet..lol
Why adults don't use strings or cables on their bows. Throw your arrows like an adult. HAHAAAA!!! -Ranch Fairy 2021
I shot without a peep for 2.5 years until about three weeks ago. I went peerless because I hated the peep always turning sideways on me. I also can see much better in low light without one. However, over the summer I noticed I would be up to 6” low at 20 yards one week and then the next week I’d be back on spot. Then I’d be low again. After several days I’d finally adjust my sight and be fine for a few days and then all of a sudden I’d be high 6”. I lost confidence and had a bruiser I was after so I installed a peep and killed the buck. So far my practices have been consistent and I’m not high and low. I wish I was better without the peep.

That sounds like a slight change in some kind of anchoring that you might not have caught. If you choose to go peepless again, try video recording yourself during the shots and see if you can identify what changes your doing. Just a thought. I definitely don't fault anyone for going with what gives them the best shot and confidence! I haven't gone peepless yet, but I'm gonna give it a whirl.
#TRADONLY #NOPEEP...I have a BNL that came to hunt with me years ago...the first afternoon he was standing by the truck waiting on me as I walked out 30 minutes after sunset...he asked “Where have you been?”...I answered “In the stand until time ran out.”. He was shooting a teched-out compound contraption. I reminded him that he was losing hunting time using that peep.
You didn't talk about your sight set up and how you execute a shot without a peep. I'd like to see that. I grew up shooting without a peep. Used the the old pins with locking nuts on them, kept eyes open and looked thru the string at the pin and let it fly. I do currently use a peep but after 17 years as LEO and 12+ years teaching guys to shoot pistol/rifle in real world scenarios, I'm a a stickler for precision shooting. None the less would like to what your set up and how you execute the shot. I love to tinker with new methods.

I keep a plastic baggie with a couple feet of serving and a few inches of D-loop material taped to the front of my riser for backcountry repairs.. but that said, you're not wrong. That's a big point of failure for a lot of folks, and they need to learn how to fix it, or learn how to do without it.
Gotta start by saying thank you for the better edit/cut of the video transitions .it def helps people stick around . I just got a new bow bow for 2021 and shot a bunch and now my peep is off . I put a kisser on for the first time and wanted to go to a smaller peep but now im thinking your on to something ?.

Never tried a kisser sight, but I haven’t had much trouble with my peep thus far. I absolutely agree that the peep sights with tubes are not great. Tubes slip off too easy, lessen arrow speed, and don’t feel as reliable
Hey I shoot a while without a peep sight no problem had a friend tell me he never used one and take a nock point squeeze it onto string with the v part out and of course you will have to play with it to get it where you need it but then you can kind of use it like a rifle sight line the grove up with the pin

Makes sense to me. I mean I run a peep on my hunting bow, but I've also shot a lot of carp with a fishing bow with no peep or sight or even a release. When I was a kid I ran some dental floss around the string on my Pearson stick bow. Poor boys no peep aim point and it worked great.
at last!!! someone explains we do NOT need to be engineers to simply shoot a bow with precision.. in a hunting situation "KISS" is the best setup.... thank you RF for cutting thru the BS
Thats the same thing i think every time i watch one of your videos. Lol. A waste of time. Lol. I just made my own self laugh.
Yea that was 20 years ago. Use a peep. Should be straight every time. If not fix it
I still use the old tube after 30 years I super glue mine and have had a couple pop offs in that 30 years but I always have a knife and can pop it right back on and if the tube is no good then that's my fault for not replacing it. I had an golden eagle predator compound bow hanging on the wall from when I was younger I don't know what type of rubber they used for the peep but it's still good wish I could find rubber like that I'm lucky to get a year now.
Hadn't used one since 1978, I'm agree 100%.
I shoot No Peep. I use a kisser button and a nose button to keep consistent anchor point. I can see so much better with out the peep and don’t have to worry about it twisting wrong as a peep often does. Low light in the woods with a peep just did not work for my eyes, these dang ol deer around here just don’t carry nice orange dots on there sides for me to focus in on.
I wish I could. Much of my hunting is either face covered or I can’t feel my face. I live where the wind hurts. Upper Midwest gets cold (and even colder lately)
I actually did the opposite. Used to use kisser and peep, got rid of the kisser, but honestly it’s all about what you like and if your hunting in the dark.
That’s magic and sorcery! 😳

A good quality string you get no peep rotation. A bigger sized peep helps in low light conditions. I didn't have a problem whacking my buck this past fall with a peep.
Peep rotation is normally caused from string not being stretched correctly if at all when it was made. If you need to train your string replace it. Dominant Strands, veteran owned and quality builds.

I had stopped shooting a peep the last 10 years before going back to trad. One way you can omit the kisser serving worry is to SIMPLY just use a brass nock as the kiss button. Even though it's small it falls right into place. Don't even worry about the hunk of plastic.
Never have used a peep I still shoot with a tab, learn proper form you won't need a peep, shooting the same way eveytime time is the goal, your form works as your peep sight.
I still shoot a peep but if it’s low light I get on the deer come out of the peep and aim a little right and let it eat works great

Kure has been bomb proof for me
i shot a tube peep for the first time when getting into archery. it was a few months after my lasik eye surgery. slapped me right below my eye. i was paranoid and never used a tube peep again.
Peep can stay lined up with d loop. Adjust d loop so at full draw peep is lined up. Tighten d loop on string. Peep site hole size at full draw should, when looked thru, be about the same size as the main site outer ring. Once set up should last a long time. Used to use a kisser button too and now use Bowmar nose button instead. All this assumes you're using a release not fingers of course. I still use a recurve once in a while and no beep site or release so to each there own.
Started with a kisser an touching nose wif string. After 25 years tried a peep.it was awful. After 25 years of putting 9 of 10 shots in a 2 inch circle at 70 yards. Forget the peep just TUNE AT BOW.
0H MY GOSH, TROY...................What are you talking about......your accuracy will suffer!......Just kidding!. I too chucked out the peeps years ago because I got to a point that I could not see through them anymore. At some point I put on a Timberline sight that had a dot in the middle to help align everything....the predecessor to the Anchor Sight. That was great as a tool to help train me, but it all came down to consistency. I sold that years ago as well and now it is all about consistent form. I have used a kisser and now I use a nose button. For my own piece of mind, after I tied in the nose button to the spot which worked for me, I used a silver sharpie to mark the bowstring to index the nose button, should anything ever go wrong. That way I can easily make a repair in the field. I have been peepless for over 20 years and once I could see my quarry, there was never any doubt as to why I have never returned to the peep....Take Care......MD Saddle Hunter
Never could get my peep trained when I started bow hunting so I've never bothered using one. Still kill deer every year...no prob. Hunted with my bro one year and he missed a doe at 15 yds twice cuz his peep rotated...told him to get rid of that pos.
That tube snap and whip had to hurt !
Unfortunately, I wear glasses and have to turn my head such that I can still see my peep and sight through the lens of my glasses. This makes it so I can’t use a kisser or nose button for a secondary anchor and rely on my peep for that. I don’t normally have too many issues with my peep turning, but having it is a must with the way my glasses fit. Maybe some other glasses wearers have a different solution?

Awesome product. I can still focus on my target but the pins’ sharpness is SO MUCH BETTER. Check it out.

First time I shot without a peep o said this is insane I can't do this haha.. but u gave it a few shots and kinda liked it.. I have a hamskea peep I'm now but I'm always thinking about pulling that sucker out! It takes time to learn to shoot that way after shoot 25 yrs with a peep.
I took 2nd place in an indoor archery league W/O a peep. I've shot 3D from a stand out to 60 yards W/O a peep. I have a shot progression after I'm @ full draw which makes that possible. I do however prefer the nose button to the kisser cuz I'm always wearing a mask. In warm weather to cold always have one. It's just 1 of the best advantages u will ever have as an ambush hunter. If u shoot a target which is a dot with rings around it u r using the peep as a ring to put around it. An animal like a deer moves & if it moves @ very close range u won't pick it up & wreck a hunt. Not to mention wounding the animal. I tried to shoot an oblong animal through that round Light Inhibitor & failed a chip shot due to the movement. It is more important to be 100 @ the moment of truth rather than tempting fate on the shot of a lifetime during crunch-time.
SO TRUE!!
I hate Peep sights now. I was scared at first to shoot without one. Just try it people. Thanks RF 💪🏽🇺🇸

Use the force
I use “ total peep “which allows 20 degrees of rotation to each side without inner circle distortion. Then I added a nose button and I’m dead on unless I’m torquing my grip or I get extra twitchy lol
