right impact, move the aperture right.Īdjust your aperture size so as to have as clear of a vision of the front size as you can get. to move the impact left on target, move the aperture left.

the farther up the staff, the higher the impact moves on your target. To adjust I file on one side or the other of the wrist mount to adjust left or right for that perfect plumb stance of the staff.

then either a plumb bob or the level to adjust the mounting of the staff mount so that the staff is perfectly level/plumb. I usually use a small level that I use on the receiver side to ensure plumb on the receiver. The further up you adjust the aperture, the farther off your horizontal will be if the staff is not vertical with the front sight. ensure that the staff is perfectly vertical with the front sight. I've found that practice makes perfect.…. When I have a tang peep sight mounted on rifle that has a rear barrel iron sight, I usually switch the rear sight out for a folder, then set up the rifle with dual zeroes for different ranges (like 50-75 yds for the bbl sight & 150yd +/- for the tanger). While a small aperture works best for zeroing and shooting at paper targets, many find they attain faster sight acquisition while hunting if they remove the aperture (not possible due to the design of a few peep sights) and shoot through the resulting 'ghost ring' w/o very much change in accuracy.

The shooter should NEVER try to center the front sight in the peep sight aperture, since the human eye naturally does that subconsiously. (it's OK if the target is slightly out of focus) While looking through the aperture, the shooter should focus on the front sight, placing it 'on target', beit game or paper. The shooter should look THROUGH the peep sight aperture, and not 'at' it - rendering the peep sight virtually invisible while shooting. It’s cheap and VERY educational.Anyone unfamiliar with peep sights should learn/practice they way they use the sight.įor a clean sight picture, it's best to either remove the rear barrel open/iron sight or switch it out for a folder.

Go to your archery shop or pro staff shooter and experiment. Peep sights are inexpensive, usually less than $3. However, keep in mind that this approach will lead you to a peep size, which will most likely be smaller than the first approach. The second school of though on peep size is to select a peep with a size, which will allow the pin guard to fit right inside the peep.

This can definitely be a plus when drawing on a bull elk in the dark timber. A larger peep will allow more light to filter through. This could possibly mean that the peep would have a view which is larger than the pin guard. The first being to edge toward a larger peep size. There are a couple of schools of thought on this. This is a much easier way to duplicate shots, thus increasing your accuracy. With a round pin guard, center the pin guard in the peep, select the appropriate pin and release the arrow. A single pin in a large opening (the peep) is a difficult thing to center on a consistent basis.

The old way of sighting, before round pin guards, was to pick the appropriate pin, center it in the peep and release the arrow. What was different about his setup? The pin guard on his sight was round and his peep sight was just the right size to allow the pin guard to fit right inside the peep. At the time my setup was a large peep sight with a square pin guard around the sight pins. The dealer had me look through the setup on his bow. I went to a different local pro shop to find a solution. I went home and couldn’t get my arrow to group any better than 6 inches at 20 yards!! Years ago I had 5 inch groups at 40 yards… what was wrong? The shop threw all kinds of things on it, to include a peep sight and sight pins. It had been some time since I had done much bow hunting. So, why would I want a peep sight anyway? And how do I know what size peep sight to use?Īs archers, these are some of the questions that may go through our heads.
