Peep Eliminator: Compound Bow Rifle Alignment Sight

Over the past few years, peep sights have slipped in the bow hunter popularity polls. How is that possible? After all, peep sights are very inexpensive, they work great during practice and they pull arrow groups in tighter. So what's the problem?

Ask any seasoned bow hunter, who shoots a peep sight, if they've ever had a problem with their peep. I'd venture to say that 99 out of a 100 would say, "Yes, I have. I was hunting in Pike county back in 1999 ... "

The story will likely continue on about how he missed some big buck after his peep sight failed.

Nearly everything in this world that has a list of advantages, also has its disadvantages; the peep sight is no exception.

Has your peep every failed to rotate correctly to where you can see through it? Has it ever moved up or down the string so that it doesn't align correctly with your eye and the sight? How about during low light conditions? Can you see through your peep good enough for good shot placement when there isn't much light?

Of course, any bow accessory and including the bow itself can fail at any given time, but if you had the opportunity to eliminate a point of failure that is quite common, wouldn't you take that opportunity?

Out of the 3 million bow hunters in the U.S., only a small percentage have taken advantage of eliminating the peep sight point of failure. I believe this is mainly due to the fact that peep sight alternatives haven't been around all that long and people just don't know about them. Another theory I have is that people new to the sport of archery have yet to be bitten by the peep sight curse. Their time is coming, without a doubt. Nearly all the hunters I know that use a peep sight alternative, are seasoned archers.

Though I've been saying "peep sight alternative," peep eliminator type sights aren't really an alternative; they're a solution and a huge gift to the sport of archery.

The Compound Bow Rifle Alignment Sight is no exception.

I've been testing this sight system on a Whisper Creek bow this summer and it works great. It's very accurate out to extreme distances, and it's easy to install.

The Compound Bow Rifle Alignment Sight is to be used a bit different from other peep-eliminator sights. Instead of using a consistent anchor point and aligning the rear sight with the same pin for every shot, no matter what the range is, you actually move your anchor point lower to align the rear sight with pins for greater distances.

If you don't like the idea of changing anchor points, don't worry; I've played around the sight enough to figure out a simple solution. No matter how many pins you shoot, all you have to do is set the rear rifle sight to align with the bottom pin. When you draw on your target, all you have to do is align the rear sight with the bottom pin and then move the correct pin for the given distance onto your target. It's that simple.

The Compound Bow Rifle Alignment Sight has a lot of advantages. It will eliminate bad shooting form and make you shoot the same way every time. If you happen to change your form after you've set the sight, the front and rear sight won't align correctly with your eye.

This sight also works great in low light conditions. You see everything surrounding the sight because there's no small peep hole to look through. You can even add an optional light kit to brighten the embedded fibers in the Compound Bow Rifle Sight.

Give one a try; you won't be sorry you did.
