Wouldn't a kisser confirm your anchor sufficiently if you don't want to use a peep? Seems like a lot to look at that anchor site, then the pin and then the deer. I am glad it works for you but that's a lot of cross referencing to get a shot off just to eliminate a peep. Can you see that sight any better in low light than looking through a peep? 1/4" peep lets in plenty of light for me. Regardless, I hope you kill plenty-o-animals with it!
Absolutely... but you never know if the bow is torqued. You don't know it using an in the string peep either. Bow torque is probably one of the biggest reasons hunters miss their mark. If the bow is torqued even a bit at 25 yds the arrow could be 6 inches or more off the point of intended impact point. The Anchor assures you that the bow is not torqued and you are perfectly aligned for the shot especially when you may have to bend and/or twist your body to make a shot.

As you can see by the picture the Anchor Sight (alignment device) and my TruGlo pendulum single pin are installed. Now to wait for a nice day to adjust the Anchor and then start tuning the sight pin to fling arrows. For those of you that don't understand the concept. Once the Anchor is adjusted to your natural anchor point, then you adjust your pin. In my case it will be set for 25 yds.
Once the initial adjustments is completed and the pin is set to 25yds.
Then I draw the bow looking at the target and the Anchor to see that I am aligned and not torqued and move both eyes to the pin and then to my target or deer. Simple really. I think what confuses people is the name Anchor Sight... as it is really not a sight but and alignment device that eliminates the in the string peep that most people use. Instead of a 3 pt triangle, 1 - your anchor point; 2 - the peep in the string (your eye) and 3 - the pin, it simply makes everything in a row. Your eye(s), the Anchor Sight and then the pin(s).

Bought this new stand for my favorite and most productive stand site. Went to my local sporting goods store and asked for the manager. Asked if he any Vine Tree Stands left and he said he had 4. I asked how much discount would he be willing to do. He said 30% and I said let's do it. I like the fact that I can have a large platform in which to turn when shooting. Something I can not do in a typical ladder stand.

bleeeeeeeeeeeeeep! Anybody got a referee whistle for these two. OMG

Ive stated this a few time. Personally my son and I are trophy hunters first and meat hunters second. I'm fortunate to have 100 acres of land that we own and hunt and some of the neighbors share our practice as well, but not all. We pass on the small bucks and have for 10 yrs or more. The point is it is our choice.
AR's... as much as I have felt they would be good for growing bigger bucks, it is not fair to take away the privilege of killing whatever a hunter wishes to take. It's their license.
Regarding the current proposal - If you have to study the points on a buck that closely before taking it then this is restriction is not viable IMHO. We as hunters, do not always get the time to survey Exactly how big the buck is yet we know it's big enough we want to take it.
I think a simple solution should be depending on zones ( the higher the population) the more tags are issued per hunter. Say in the normal population zones 2 tags per hunter, per season, either sex. Higher population say 3 tags per hunter, per season, either sex. No DMPs' except say nuisance tags. The meat hunters will fill their tags sooner and be done with hunting. The people with less time will have more opportunities to take deer. I and others who are horn hunters first and meat hunter second and have a lot of time to and opportunities to hunt will be able to harvest whatever they want.
Oh and here's another thought... just leave things the way they are. More and more hunters are practicing "let em grow" anyways and history shows us that every year bigger and bigger racks and more of them are being taken each year. So it is working.

Sounds like a fine set up. Just curious here - why a 3 pin AND adjustable? Sounds confusing.

Is that size more ideal for a ground blind?

No it's your natural anchor point and if you are aligned properly the dot will be inside the larger circle. It is a momentary check to see that you are lined up perfectly before moving the pin onto the target to shoot. It's actually quite easy and instinctive once you get used to it. I can shoot as fast as anyone using a peep. Maybe faster. What it really does is verify that you have not torqued the bow and that your anchor point is perfect every time thus eliminating the third part of the triangle of shooting a compound bow, the eye on the string. So instead of your hand, your anchor point and your eye... it's just your hand and your anchor point but the Anchor Sight assures perfect form and alignment every time. Just a different concept. With a peep sight you look through a hole and line up the pin but never really know if your bow is torqued even a little bit.

I had one of the Timberline No-Peeps on a bow and didn't care for it . I also didn't feel the need to use it . I thought of it as a distraction . My youngest son has one and I thing he has it on his newer bow . I don't even bother looking at the level on my bow sight and my shooting seems fine for my age . Just a personal preference .
IT's definitely Not a distraction if you mount it very close to the pin(s). If it is away from the pin(s), I could see how you felt that way though.

That would be a horrible idea for the zones with high deer numbers.
Then make those zones 3 deer per hunter per season.

How about something simple like 2 deer per season includes Bow, Gun and MZ seasons, period. Take what you want and be done with it. No more DMP's.
Let the hunter who wants to shoot meat get it by doe or by buck and be done. For the trophy hunters who want to wait or the hunter who doesn't have a lot of time can get the job and be out of the the wood thus leaving the woods to others who are more selective.
Personally I make no bones about it... I am a trophy hunter first and a meat hunter second. I am fortunate to have to land to be selective and I can bide my time waiting for Mr Big and if he never comes I can take venison later in the season.
2 deer per hunter per season and that's it! Should satisfy everyone, even the DEC.

I just purchased the Anchor Sight for my new Halon. I have used exclusively for more than 15 years, (now called) the Timberline No Peep. It is about $40 - $50 depending where you purchase. The Anchor Sight is over $100 depending. I have found the Timberline excellent for grouping and it's not unusual for me to break out the bow after long sits w/o shooting and put the first 3 arrows within an inch or 2 at 25 yds. I am looking forward to using the Anchor Sight on the new bow. It is a bit larger but looks like it will better especially in low light although the Timberline was fine as well. Any way this is the brand new video and not even on their website as of yet. Anyone looking to rid their bow of the peep sight should look into this.

Picked my Halon 6 up yesterday in the 30" model, 60# with a QAD HDX drop away. Will be mounting a new single pin TruGlo and Anchor Sight shortly. Can't wait to fling some arrows.

About 10 years ago my wife and I used to park the truck on the hilltop just off the road to scan for deer with a spot scope. We were standing in the back of the truck with the scope on the roof. We saw a young tall spike horn buck in velvet coming our way. We just stayed still and let him walk up toward the truck. We were amazed that it would even walk this close and I told her wait til he get down wind of us... he will blow out of here. To my amazement, he got down wind and then just continued to circle the truck. I started to talk to him and again he just looked at us. Now no shit here... I got out of the back of the truck and slowly walked to him and extended my hand and he sniffed it and then I put my hand between his ears and scratched him. Eventually I gently grasped an antler spike and could feel the warmth from it. I never saw it again but learn as I told the story to a few people that a neighbor had a young buck that he raised and released not too long before. I have no idea if he made it or was killed or whatever. I would assume it was killed.

i only used one once, this past season and it passed through but was hanging out the other side. The entrance hole was huge and the exit as well. 35 yds and bled out. Never seen so much blood. That being said, the collars must be on perfect and the blades must be perfect or I could see this happening as it happened with you.

Call around to the nearby bow shops to see what they have traded in.

I personally can't say I consider hunting a sport. I consider it an "activity". Now skeet shooting or sporting clays which I really don't know much about, there is a score system. In hunting I can't really say the same. That being said there are a few sports I really don't consider a sport either. Car racing, fishing and fox hunting on horseback come to mind. To me a sport has to have athletic ability and some kind of a scoring system.

I've always used Beman 400 MFX arrows but looking at making a change to Carbon Express, either Mayhem or Pile Drivers. Looking for a bit heavier arrow w/o adding extra what forward. These arrows are like 8.9 gpi or 10.4 gpi. 27.5 to 28" arrows with 100 grain tip will weigh between 367 gr total arrow weight and 408 gr total arrow weight.

I been shooting a Mathews Drenalin since 2009 set at 60#. Love the bow and actually hope I don't regret the change. I'm not getting any younger so stepped up to the pump and got a Mathews Halon 6 - 60#. The reason is at 63, 64 this season I wanted a bow with more speed. I plan to shoot the new bow at 60# this year but know that the older I get the less I will be able to draw back so the new bow at 55# will be still faster then the Drenalin.

Nothing like the peep eliminator. I've tried this type as well as the cross hair rear sight type ones and could never use them accurately. The Anchor is not a sight... it's an alignment device. Totally different concept.
I had searched for and tried most all of the others trying to avoid an in the string peep. I have using the Timberline no peep, similar to the Anchor for the past 15 years. I like using both eyes open which is much better in low light.
