I upgraded my sight from a four pin to a 7 pin trophy ridge hit man and my field of view through my peep when at full draw seems less then ideal. My previous sight and peep view were a perfect fit onto each other allowing full view of my pins, however my new view puts the peep view inside the "ring" of the sight making my field of vision seem smaller. Is the current view correct or should the peep view be on the outside of the sight ring? I currently have a 1/4 peep and I am thinking about going with a 3/8. Thanks D

What is your dl? 1/4 is a good size peep. Is it oriented correct at full draw? Maybe try out a 5/16. I haven't ever seen a 3/8. Ideally you want to see the glow ring on the pin housing inside the peep ring.

I have a 28 inch draw and even if I change my anchor point around I still cannot get the peep view to fit around the sight ring. I will change out my Peep to 5/16 and then see. The recommendation on the sight is at least a 1/4 peep.

Anchor sight, no peep, no reduction on field of view, no reduction in light.

love my anchor sight!
never again will use a peep.

Can that Anchor site get water in it and/or fogged up?

Probably could get moisture or fogged though it hasn't, but you don't actually have to focus on an image so you could probably still see your dot lined up. Most important thing is that it is set to "your" natural anchor. If I close my eyes and draw and relax my grip (no torque), in theory if it is set correctly, when I open my eyes, the anchor sight should be lined up and all I have to do is look at the right pin. It probably helps most when target shooting to keep your form the same with every shot. When you get your shot in the woods, everything should feel natural...just draw, set anchor, relax grip, double check that you are lined up, line up your pin, pull the trigger, follow shot all the way to target.
If I forget the "double check that you are lined up" it should still hit where pin is hovering. The closer the shot, the less likely you have to double check, the farther the shot, the more likely you are to think through your sequence.

I've had my anchor site at times get some moisture inside it, darn wetside rain.
No effect on the visual line up of the dot into the ring. It dries out quickly. Have not had it fog. After using it now for two years, a quick check of the dot alignment is almost not needed when target practicing. But draw on game, I always do the quick alignment check, then place the correct yardage pin on the beast's sweet spot and release the shot.
You know that last 5 minutes of shooting light, in late November under a canopy of cover and you struggle or strain with the dusky light available for the peep...no problem with the anchor sight.
