Awhile back I bought one of those Specialty peep kits that you can change the apertures out. When I shoot spots or target in the sun, I use the next to the smallest aperture. When I go to shoot 3-D on a cloudy day in a dark cedar brake, I use the next to the largest so I can see the animal targets in the shade. Problem is, my accuracy suffers. With the small peep, I can stack 3 arrows on a square piece of 1-1/2" blue painters tape on a 6" paper plate at 40 yards all day. Put the big peep on , and I shoot all over the plate.
I shoot 30-40 arrows a day, so don't tell me to practice with it. The sight is an HHA-5000 slider with a 4X lens, and a 0.29" pip. The pip is bright, so that's not the problem. Does this happen to ya'll too?
I'm cornfused :noidea:

just my opinion but i think what is happening with your bigger peep is that your not matching things up like you do with your smaller peep. such as lining up the peep with the sight housing. with your larger peep try lining up the top or the bottom of the sight housing with your peep sight and it might make a difference

Interesting, I'll have to try a smaller peep again and see the difference. Thanks

With the small peep, I don't see the housing, just the pip with a small space around it. With the larger peeps, I do see the housing and the level bubble. With the small peep, I have to look down, level, then center the pip. I'll just have to work on it, I guess.
Thanks

Could be that you need to finely tweak the draw length of the bow. The smaller peep forces you to anchor the same all the time so you can see through it. The larger peep allows you to float around a bit trying to find the center. Getting the draw length just so might eliminate the float and just be more consistent, almost to a point of not needing a peep at all.

Maybe so, but that'd be a PITA 'cause I shoot spots every week, and 3-D or field archery every day, and I wouldn't want to change everytime I do. I do "float," so I might have to play with the release length.
Thanks, never thought of that....

Playing with the release might work as well. The whole idea is getting your upper body in the best alignment as possible. Sometimes as little as 1/8" can make a difference.
