Title: got my threads from breathn and rad peep installed.made a good bow great
Post by: earlmarne on May 14, 2013, 10:44:52 PM: my strings from breathn(johns custom came on monday.24 strands of 452x on strings and cables.they look sharp n match my camo real well.i decided against any flourecent colors this go.
well it only took a twist or 2 to the yoke legs to get her shootin bullet holes.easy set up.put my 475 grain huntin arrow through the chrono n got 290 3 times in a row.thats 10 fps faster than i was getting out of my factory set.at 31 inch draw and 70 and 1/2 lbs.
i guess all there is to be seen is how they hold up.but as it sits i dont think i will be looking elsewhere for a set for a long while.actually think i will order another set in the next month or so just to have on hand.
now for the rad peep.my old peep was not treating me too well.it gave me a good amount of blur that i have never experienced and in low light,even at 1/4 inch i had a horrible time picking out my target or sight.radsav recommended to try blue and i have got to agree it was a good move.i shot well into the low light of the evening tonight n i can see a clear difference.idk if that is just me,but i am happy as could be.

Post by: earlmarne on May 14, 2013, 11:04:37 PM: i went blue for better light transmission.actually i did so from suggestion of a guy much wiser than myself.it will take some more time to make a solid decision but as i see it now it is a marked improvement.this peep is a step above whatever i had before for sure.
new threads always make me happy.

Post by: earlmarne on May 14, 2013, 11:59:31 PM: actually having a hard time getting used to the brightness of the pins on this sight.i have some higher quality fibers i ordered.just waiting to order bulletproof pins to put em in.
i am coming from a montana black gold sight n that thing blew this one out of the water on pin brightness.i dont notice it really besides when i am in my blind.i am sure the new fibers will help.
beyond that though.the hogg it i believe to be the perfect fixed pin sight.it is easy to adjust n has proven to be solid in the short amount of time i have had it.
i will not be chenging it out anytime soon,plus i like the extra large pin guard.

The blue color peep helps in low light because blue is easier on your eyes it doesnt draw your eye to focuse on it :twocents:

Post by: RadSav on May 17, 2013, 07:30:51 PM: Purple actually produces the least amount of glare of any of our peep sights. Blue and black have nearly the same amount of glare. However, the eye seems not to mind the glare from blue as much as is does from Red, Green, Pink or even Black. So if you are being irritated by peep glare often times blue will reduce the amount of irritation. On target peeps the Black Oxide type of finish on Specialty Archery's replaceable apertures can reduce irritation too. So does applying burnt cork to any peep. Berchwood Casey's Sight Black works great, but it can get messy and needs reapplication regularly.

I thought any woman that wanted that horrible glare from a pink peep would welcome purple. And while that might be true the dealers don't seem to want it. So it has been a slow seller. I think most of our purple sales are to men that are a little light in the shorts and dealers that cater to them :chuckle: I'm digging the blue right now. But, I would have absolutely no problem going purple. It really is the best color for clear sight picture.
