I'm strictly a hunter and have never used a peep until last year. It was great target shooting where I had all the time in the world and plenty of light. Come half way through the hunting season I took it off and threw it down the side of the mountain. Absolutely not needed.

I’m only 42 but grew up shooting fingers, no sights (huge fan on the Fitzgeralds), then around 14-15 added a release and pin but no kisser , no peep . My dad just had me find a knuckle anchor and nose on string Loved it

It is possible with practice to not only shoot with out a peep site but to also shoot accurately without a sight at all.

Good video. I started with target recurve and tried compound several years later. When I purchased the compound I found the peep sight annoying so I removed it. No issues with accuracy sans-peep. Consistent anchor and form was already well ingrained from my recurve experience.

Cant wait to try it !

I’ve been doing this for 10+years. Great video I couldn’t agree more.

I use a kisser, without a peep. It's the same idea as Olympic Recurve

Awesome video! I haven’t bow hunted the last two year because of sight problems when using a peep. I am Whitetail hunter on the east coast, I practice at 50 and 60 yards, but a 30 yard or less shot is average out here. I have been kicking around ideas to get myself back in a tree. Your video has given me hope for the 2020 fall season. 👍👍

I run a peep with an EZV bowsight. Awesome how much it opens up your sight picture. You can shoot and arrow and literally watch the arrow fly down the center of the V and hit the target. Pins blocks so much arrow flight and ill never go back. Lots of guys run the EZV and peepless and can get some awesome groups.

Great video! Thank you! I shoot one of my bows with no peep and a one pin sight. It's new for me but I wanted to test it out. I'm getting used to it and can hit very tight groups with no peep. I haven't tried it long range yet but seems to work great so far out to 40. Like you said the sight picture is really big now.

I like it , have that old style tube peep still maybe change it up b4 season starts

The last 5 years I have been hunting traditional equipment. Been pretty successful. With that I am going back to my compound. I have developed a really bad target anticipation. To the point it was hard to group at 20yards. Watched this video. I pulled my peep and without a circle around my sight housing I only focused on the pin and the target. I was able to settle and not feel like I had to punch to my the shot. Great video thanks for the tips.

Thank you so much this helped me a lot!

Great video, I’ll give it a shot

Great vid man. I started shooting without peep seven years ago. First time with an hindsight then with an anchor sight but right now i dont need these devices anymore. Youre right three anchor points fix all issues. The only thing i do different is i see to the left of string. In this way i dont need tilt my head too far right. Thanks for the extra advices sr

A couple late season, snow on the ground, low light, shot opportunities where I struggled aligning my peep has me thinking I need to shoot peepless. Thanks for the video an peace from Nor Minnesota.

Thanks for the info

I used to shoot my old beat whitetail 2 without a peep , you will be surprised , a bit of white cotton as a reference to line up with my pins

Great video, I would like to see your groups though. I shot without a peep for years. Now I shoot with a peep, but this video got me thinking about ditching it again.

I’m a hunter but new to archery...as of last week. I haven’t installed the peep yet and have halfway decent groups considering how many things I am doing wrong. I also have an ac joint issue which is definitely a lot more noticeable after about 40 arrows.

Thanks for the video! Man, you wouldn’t believe it I literally just figured this out about 3 hours ago. I don’t have a bow press anymore and didn’t really want to stick a screw driver in my cam like old school to install a new peep but I thought I’ll put my kisser on, get my dloop right and shoot a few arrows just to shoot.. I shot an inch group of 6 arrows at 10ish yards. I was like well, that went better than expected. Walked in the house, put my bow up and was like woo wait what?! I’ve accidentally over the years worked myself into a hesitation that causes me to jerk. I knew something felt different without the peep but couldn’t place it, I took it back out and shot 6 arrows at 25, and 6 at 40 and oh my god where has this video been! Man, you absolutely nailed it. It’s like your brain is thanking you, “now we can see the sight picture and target this is much easier!” You can clearly focus on your pin. Maybe it’s not for everybody but anyone who’s getting discouraged or wondering why it feels stressed, consider this and give it a shot. The world will open up for you it feels at full draw. Maybe a peep would still be good to build a fundamental good anchor point but if you’re solid, take that peep out! Gotta see it to believe it. I immediately searched does anybody else do this?! Haha! Glad to see I’m not the only one.

I shoot without one. Just use a serving wrap for a reference to my sight

I recently purchased my first bow used without a peep. I started learning how to shoot without a peep. Yet there has always been something missing to gain an extra point or two. Your video helped me decide what I need to do with the extra points of contact. Thanks

Well said

I discovered I could shoot better with no peep by accident. Bought a new bow and wanted to shoot it a few times before getting peep installed. Using a 3-pin front sight, I shot a few arrows at close range and was drilling the 10 ring. I can’t get a kisser to line up right so I’m just going with 2 anchor points using a thumb release. May try and put a small piece of serving at the sight point for reference. I keep one eye closed and sight to left of string. Need to keep string lined up as close as possible over pin or shots will drift horizontally.

What you need is proper form i have never used a peep sight or a release aid, fingers with a tab . Form, Form and practice, practice. 😊😊😊😊 end of lesson.

The recurve guys mis a lot in competitions so yes

So happy I went peepless

You make some very convincing and positive points, definitely worth trying. I was really hoping to see where those two arrows placed. Lol

I’ve never understood why anyone uses a peep sight, you can move your anchor point a substantial amount and still see through the peep. That causes you to be inaccurate. Just use your anchor point and understand that it is critical

Olympic archers are very accurate with fingers and no peep. I never used one for hunting the last 50 years either. And do not have any sad stories, like peep users do. As mentioned it is just easier for new archers to start that way. Also you can ba very accurate at longer ranges

I've been researching this myself. I have the same problems with my vision now the older I get. Sometimes things aren't just blurry looking through the peep, but also I can see double pins. Using the one in the middle doesn't always work either. LOL

Nice video 👍

I just went from wrist release to thumb release. I'm finding that I'm leaning in to look thru my peep. I'm not liking that. I started blank bailing and when I backed up to 10 yards I was dead on every shot (still blank bailing). I went back to 20 and my shot was off to the right when using the peep. I think I might just ditch it

I talked to a fellow at the local Cabelas he says he uses the IQ bow sight with the retina lock and no Peep and has absolutely no issues only problem for me is the cost of the IQ sights they are a little pricey.

ASL Hill Style Archers are asking what sights? You mean your knuckles?

great advise i given a bow so i can start boe hunting and noticed that it doesnt have a peep glad to see i dont need it but i do have other questions for you if you have time. i have a different sight on it that came with it and would like to know your thoughts

I used a no peep sight awhile back, I was never able to get it set up just right. I have been wanting to go peep less for alot of the reasons you listed. When you tied the two kisser buttons can they be moved to fine tune. I have a four pin set up now sounds like you are saying to go to a one pin for a better sight picture is that correct.

Sure , Why not. Back in the day, my first compound bows, didn't have a peep sight, just a couple brass pins, and I never had a peep sight, on my recurve or a pin . Just instinctive shooting.

Your putting a lot into getting a perfect shot . I use a anchor sight and have no extras on my string and gives you every thing your saying . Check it out .

Seriously considering this as I am left eye Dom now but right handed. How long did you say you have been doing this and how many kills have you experienced with no peep?

I don't understand so do you blur the pin out with the string? Do you line the pin up with right side of the string at full draw ?

World archery competitions shooting at 50m just use fwd sights and anchor points.

Just did this, only with a kisser button and Bowmar nose button, works well

Do you have some videos of these 50 yard two inch groups? Do a live video of ten, five shot groups please.

In order for this to work do you have to have a vertical single pin

Ok, I understand the anchor points, and I'm gonna try this, this season. What I don't understand is, how you use 1 single pin at various distances. It seems to me that the single pin would be for one single distance, and you'd have to guess where to aim on the deer and hope you're aiming in the correct height (top of shoulder, spine, tree behind the deer, or further distances where you're aiming at the cloud, etc.). Whereas with three pins, each is set (on the heart) for their own distance, and you put the pin on the vital V every time and you know its gonna punch that spot. I'm trying to understand but I need help. Thank you!

How does ethis work with multi pin sights

Until just a few years ago I didn't use a peep for hunting. You're not trying to score points. 99% of time you just need to hit within like 4" maybe 6" diameter spot on the side of a deer, elk or hog. Usually not using a peep is good enough to hit like a coyote at 30 yards +. The single most important thing is your form and release position consistency.

On the last shot you punched the trigger?

“Can you shoot a bow accurately without a peep?” Post your honest 5 spot or Vegas scores you shot without a peep.

I'm trying to get rid of my peep. Tired of worrying about twisting it when I go to shoot. So when you are aiming at your target what are the things you align to make sure you're going to shoot straight besides your anchor points? For example, where is the string lining up to when you're at full draw? I would greatly appreciate some advice. I really want to get rid of my peep.

do you need a IQ bow sight to shoot peepless? and without a peep wouldnt your string be in your line of sight ?

Did you stick to shooting without peep?

Have you checked the IQ sights with retina lock? It has a point there to help you go peepless.

To much facial contact

Just buy an actual nose button man

If you all have not seen a documentary called.. it's worse than you think.... By revelations of Jesus Christ ministries..... I suggest you do. All praise and glory to the most high Jesus Christ

Went peerless in 2013...won championships in 2014, 2015 and 2017. Peep sights are NOT necessary
