Tighter Peeps For Tighter Groups

Hey, Dud, what size peep do you use? I'm pretty consistent, 316s most of the year. I'm really not focusing on true indoor archery or target archery like I used to, so I'm not shooting smaller scopes with lenses and extended sights. I might, but right now I haven't been. I've kind of been doing a hybrid with my tac bow, and so I've been using the 316s peep, but sometimes if I was gonna use a five pin sight housing, I would need the quarter inch peep. So these are kind of the two that I use. What I'll tell you is the bigger the peep, the bigger your groups. That's just gonna be the case because you're centering two circles. You're taking this peep sight and you're trying to center this scope housing perfectly in that, and that's why 316s with the white ring that we send in our spot hog kits, it's a perfect eclipse for me at my draw length. Now, if I went to the bigger housing for multiple pins, I would have to go to a slightly bigger peep sight so that I could see that entire radius. If you have daylight around your scope housing, if you can do it because of your natural eyesight, reducing that peep and tightening down your ability to perfectly eclipse your scope housing, your groups will get better. There's no question about it. The smaller the peep, the more you have to focus on centering that pin in the peep. So with target archery, the peeps are incredibly small because the scope housing is very small and the tighter you narrow all that down, the tighter your groups are gonna be. The more variation you can move with your head or your eye alignment or not see torque in your scope, the more ability you have for that variation, the bigger your groups are gonna be. But I go with what's working really well with these scope housings that are around the 30 millimeter range. Three sixteenths has been great. And honestly, sometimes at tack, I will go one size smaller than a three sixteenths just because if I'm on Bigfoot, focusing on triple digit distances, my peep is one size down and I cannot see this white. So I know if I'm seeing any white in my peep at all, then I'm off center. So that's why I choke it down a little bit. Definitely not a good option for hunting because you're not gonna be able to see in the blinds once there's low light. The smaller that peep, the harder it gets to see. But honestly, three sixteenths has been flawless for me in any type of legal shooting light, either in a blind or in a stand. Good luck.
