    Yep, thinking of throwing away the peep and going with a rear sight. Like the Eliminator Pro, but looking at a few other types. From what I have seen on youtube, it doesn't look like it would be that hard to install and setup. Anyone here use a rear sight? Did you have any trouble installing and setting up? I like the idea of not having to look through a hole on my string to try and line everything up. As well as if I am having any torque issues with my form. Don't think I do, but just to be sure I don't. For those that use one, is it as good as some say about the rear sights? Let me know. Thanks.

    Nobody here uses a rear sight? There has to be someone in here that uses one or has used one. Or perhaps knows someone that does/did.

    I knew a guy who used that rear peep sight thing that Tom Miranda endorsed, he seemed to be able to shoot well with it, so they obviously work, that being said they are IMO they are butt ugly and chunky looking not to mention more to break.

    Shot the Hindsight for a couple of years. I believe this is the one Miranda uses. You use only one pin for aiming purposes. Did not like that part of it. You had to line up the top pin in the rear crosshairs and then raise your bow to the appropriate pin for the different yardages. Went back to my peep sight last year, don't regret it at all.

    Yes thats the one! I have no doubt they work okay, I would stick to a normal string peep though for their simplicity.

    Perrys No Peep is my recommendation.

    Pinpoint accurate (oranges @ 60 yards)
    fast target alignment
    add 10 minutes to your hunt in low light conditions
    Instant form feed back....N-S-E-W @full draw (in the heat of the moment)
    appox 10' field of view @25 yards
    Increase bow speed up to 6fps
    NO MORE PEEP PROBLEMS!

    For $99.

    Add a PNP apo (alignment pin only) to your bow

    put your favorite sight on the apo, remove your peep,

    Now your cooking with gas....
