Setting your Peep height

 

First I will cover some of the effects that can be caused by incorrect peep height

Peep too low;

  • Crunching down and tilting of the head and neck giving rise to poor form and potential muscle and skeletal problem
  • Excessively high bow shoulder
  • You may find that your sight will not move low enough for long shots

Peep too High;

  • Overextension/stretching of neck and shoulders
  • Floating/inconsistent anchor point

 

As you can see both conditions are detrimental to your shooting performance and can also lead to some formes of Gold fever/Target panic as these inconsistencies play on your mental and physical form.

 

Step one check your Bow setup and shooting form;

a)      Set correct arrow rest height and canter shot (under shooting tips on this site)

b)      Set you nock height

c)      Examine your anchor point for repeatability of placement and solid relaxed feel

d)      check on your form by briefly running through the Shooting basics page on this site

Step two checking your Peep;

a)      Draw your bow in front of a target with an arrow in to avoid the chance of a dry fire using your best form and as you are coming to anchor close your eyes, settle into position for the shot then open your eye if too low you will be looking over the peep.

b)      Repeat this process until your peep lines up with your eye when you open them after settling in for the shot

c)      As you will have moved the peep along the twist of the string you will probably need to use a bow press to align your peep rotationally to get a clear view, as the use of a bow press can be dangerous please seek assistance if in any doubt!!!

d)      Moving the peep up will move the impact point of the arrow up for any given sight setting and conversely lowering the peep will lower the point of impact.
