Yeah, if shooting within 20 yards you'll be ok only if you have a VERY consistent anchor point or a kisser. I tried it without one (peep) and found that I sprayed arrows all over the target at 20 yards. You definately have an advantage over peep users in the very early or late minutes of the day.

Chopper did you get that bow for graduation :lol: :lol: :lol: Image

I'm with widowmaker, the "No Peep" is where it is at. I recommend everyone try one.

I think you mave have misunderstood the whole no Peep thing Dutch.
The No Peep is an alignment device you put on the riser of your bow. Basically you set it so that the dot is inside the circle when you come to full draw and set at your anchor point. Basically when you get use to it you will never look at it again. I killed 5 does last year with my bow, yardage ranging from 10yds to 40 yds and didn't have a total of 100 yard trail combing all kills. One doe I shot at 30 yards well after standard peep sight quit'n time.
