Talking Hind Sight- no mo peep sight

WOW! i just mounted a hind sight peep eliminator on one of my compounds and oh my goodness! I absolutely am freaking out right NOW! I cannot miss with this thing. SOOOO much easier than peepsight or pendulum or whatever! I can shoot with both eyes open and point of aim acquisition is so fast.... i mean i shoot in 2 seconds! i ordered 2 more for my other bows, and got them on ebay for 23.00 bucks. the magnum at that.
Anyway- anybody else try these out or any other newer "AIDS" on the market?
I am always a bit sketchy about new contraptions, but this and the whisker biscuit years ago have changed my mind.... a lil bit anyway!

Okay, you've got me interested. I'm looking it up now.

I shot with no sights for a while, and now shoot with a peep sight and a fiber optic sight.

If I couldn't use a peep with my fiber optic pins, I would go back to shooting w/o a sight.

Are you familiar with what tcwildcat is talking about? This is something more like gun sights. Although you don't have a peep, you still have a rear sight and front sight(pins). I wish I knew someone who had one so I could try it out. I'm left eyed and shoot right handed so this might great for me!

To use any type of sight on a bow is the greatest sin an archer can commit IMO

A true traditionalist I presume! It is a little ridiculous with all the gadgets they have out now but it does help people shoot better. Myself, I like some of the gadgets but I do like to pick up that recurve from time to time and shoot it with no sights. I don't practice like I used to but I can pick up that fancy compound and be accurate. Pie plate accurate at 30 yards any time of the year. The recurve takes more practice than I'm not willing to give at this time. In my opinion once you step into the compound world you might as well shoot with sights and any other aid available. I do admire the recurve and long bow enthusiasts.

I haven't made the jump into inline muzzle loading. I'm sure I will someday but I would equate compound bows with sights to an inline muzzle loader and scope. Do you shoot a muzzle loader with a scope? Just wondering!

I guess i shoot shoot my pistol with no sights too? and all my other guns... that is the silliest comment I have ever heard from anybody! i wouldn't be so rude to you sir. if you dont like the sights on bows than dont use them. but dont come stick your nose in my business. You are whats wrong with our sport right now. i think you need to apologize to your fellow sportsmen for being rude and trying to form dissension between sportsmen. At these times we need to be united, this kind of ignorance is exactly what non-hunters want! Don't you read and watch what is going on nowadays?
Anyway- to all others- this hind sight could greatly help out with eye dominance problem shhoters. you can use both eyes very shortly after learning. And now the arrow speed and penetration is alot higher! I am excited for turkey season to open. Dont think ill miss this time!
And to anyone else with a problem that other sportsman have- take your momma's advice- if you aint got notthin good to say- don't say nothin!
