What happens if your peep sight is too high?

Having the proper peep height is imperative for this. If it is too high, your nose will float off the string, and too low will lead to the string “smushing” your nose in. A simple way to find the right spot for the peep height is to draw back an anchor with your eyes closed.

Out of the three, 3/16” peeps are by far the most common and will fit most sight styles. The general rule of thumb is that a smaller peep diameter will provide more accuracy while the larger peep size will provide better low light performance.

Much like the peep sight on a rifle, a peep sight is nothing more than a hole in your bow string which allows the shooter to ensure that there is adequate line of sight between their eye, the pin, and the target.

Is my peep sight too low?

the question is whether your peep AND sight are too low, making your neck bend more than you feel is comfortable. If just the peep is “low”, then your shot will be low. If your bow shoots well but you are not comfortable, then you will need to raise both.

Registered. Yes it matters. A colored peep will reflect light which actually makes it harder to see your target in brighter conditions. The brighter the peep, the more light is reflected and the less clear your vision will be.

Can I drill out my peep sight?

Don’t use a drill!! Use a (preferably new) bit which is one size larger than the existing hole. Wrap a few turns of masking tape around the shank of the bit. Hold the peep in a gloved hand and just patiently wear the aluminum (or plastic) away by rotating the bit with your fingers.

How far can you shoot with peep sights?

But at both 100 and 200 yards, the peep sight held its own. At 300 yards, the optic had the clear advantage, though the group size was inadequate. Peep sights won’t work on every action, and in my hunting-rifle configuration, I wouldn’t shoot them past 200 yards.
