Thoughts? Experiences? Can you actually see the post when you look through the peep? :dunno:

It looks to me like it would cover up an awful lot of the target.   :bdid:  Give me a Montana Black Gold Ascent single pin, and a 3/16" black Rad. peep.   :tup:
Hunt hard and shoot straight!

Be really hard to see your bubble.

Be really hard to see your bubble.

In my experience it doesn't cover up any of the target or the bubble.  Mainly because it is too close to the eye to have any definition.  You still get a basically round aperture...it just adds a little fuzziness to the sight picture.  Like most things in archery lately this is not a new concept.  People have tried this many different times over the years.

Ask yourself this question next time you shoot your bow - How far does my peep need to be from my eye to see any definition?  The next question to ask yourself is - Once I do get definition of my peep aperture how clear is my view of the target?  Each person depending on eye sight and youth will experience things different when asking these questions.  But, I think you will agree after your answers that designing a feature that takes focus off of pins and target isn't necessarily a benefit.  Peep sights are meant to be looked through, not at.

Our subconscious mind centers things in a circle naturally.  So what is the purpose of designing a feature that requires us to consciously do the same thing?  And then does it with a lack of definition and disrupts clarity?  Obviously my company is a competitor so most, I assume, will assume my views are slanted.  But in my experience with all the other similar designs, some with lenses some without, it has never been a benefit I wanted to add to our product line.

But what about the pretty girl with the green eyes?? :chuckle:

I figured you'd have the most insight, Rad, and was looking forward to your input. It seems like a bit of a gimick, and if it were that great, everyone would have one. Seems that focusing on something that close to your eye, while focusing on placing your pins and target, you would screw yourself up more.

The traditional round peep has been used for long range shooting for some 150 years (think of the eradication of the buffalo herds in the 1860's and 1870's) out to ranges exceeding 1,000 yards. If there was a better design than a round hole to look through, that wheel would have been invented long ago. Trust the science of what your brain naturally does, practice good fundamentals, and you'll be far better off.

Any time you inject consciousness to a subconscious effort there is conflict.  Do you really need any additional conflict when the blood is rushing in your ears and the adrenaline is about to push you right out of your boots when that big bull walks into range?
