tommyc50 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 hey everyone well hes the story i bought another bow and was shooting incredible well one day i got out to shoot [it was upstate] in the morning and shot horrible and it stayed that way in my pro shop the guy lowered the peep sight and couldnt see the pins i have to smash my nose in the string to see anything and to say the lest not hit anything either. i know i was punching the release and went back to my old way it got better but not much. well i picked up my old bow and was amazed i could see the pins i lowered the peep cause i wasnt use to shooting it well that was a mistake i couldnt see the pins either moved it back but it didnt help still have to smash my nose in the string and cant see the pins . it use to be i raized the bow and drew back and everything was there no searching for the pins . well i hope you folks have some suggestions its so close to hunting season for this to happen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hock3y24 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 If he lowered your peep he should have twisted or untwisted the strings. It sounds like your peep is sideways when you draw the bow back. Going to need a press to fix that. I'd try another shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grampy Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Try moving the peep back where it was. If your bow needed an adjustment, the peep is usually not the first thing you move. Once you have a good sight picture again, have the bow squared up, shoot a few groups, see where you are hitting and move the bow sight accordingly. Hope that works for ya.

Steve D Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Throw the peep away and practice anchoring in the same place each time. If you have a consistent anchor point there is no need for a peep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisw Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 How did you leave a "pro" shop without being able to see through your peep?? First correction should be a new shop...Sent from my XT1080 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommyc50 Posted September 23, 2017 Author Share Posted September 23, 2017 no i was @ the range and he was watching me shoot and said the peep was too high.hes very busy this time of the year so he took some time to help me.i had trouble seeing the pins in the first place and he was trying to help but it made it worse so he said he'll take a look again maybe tuesday but like i said he's extremely busy ' i think the string is twisted thats the only thing that makes sense thank you i hope to shoot tomarrow and see if i could undo what i did Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BowmanMike Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 try twisting the string after you nock an arrow,help align the peep. Mine used to twist,had to put it in the string at a 45 angle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mlammerhirt Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Draw back with your eyes closed....anchor...and the open your eye.....if you can't see clearly through the peep right to the pins you need to move the peep up or down accordingly. The peep will.most likely slide down....haven't seen many times when it went up.Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk thank you so much thats what i did and i found out the peep was moving on both bows the wraps that secure the peep was too far apart i tighted them up so the peep couldnt move when i drew the bow back. and i had to learn to shoot all over again not punching the release and wow did i have a bad case of target panic had to relax and focus on the bullseye thank you everyone and i learned my lesson if its not broke dont fix it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy K Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Do you have string silencers that go between the threads of the string? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
