Title: Anyone tried a IQ retina lock bow sight?
Post by: tbrady on August 27, 2015, 12:00:46 PM: These are the sights that don't need a peep to give you a consistent anchor point. They look interesting but I think I would shoot slower trying to center the retina lock than just centering the bowsight in my peep which seems to happen naturally...

I have used the retina lock type no-peep (predecessor to this?), and really liked it. It does not take any more time to glance at it when shooting. It is not a "sight" to be lined up as much as it is a quick reference to make sure you are holding your bow the same as usual. I don't know how this one specifically works but the one I used was lined up with your bow drawn in your normal pposition. It was really easy to see when you are torqing your bow.

Hmm, but don't you suffer from a severe case of OCD?

Post by: andrebeergog on August 30, 2015, 09:29:56 AM: I put an IQ retina lock site on my bow last year and it instantly made me a more consistent shooter. As a beginner it was money well spent. I still shoot it with a peep as well. I can't really imagine getting it dialed in to the point where you could shoot it without one.

So what does this mean? Good, bad? I don't know the sensitivity of the IQ sight but the no-peep attachment was spot on if the dot was lined up. :dunno:
