Default Aiming Options!! help!

Hello, ive been shooting a comfort kiss for 2 years now and really like it but find it takes so much memory and a lot more precise memory shot after shot. So I have recently been thinking about switching to a peep sight or even using both. Let me know as to which way you would choose !

I just use a peep and no kisser. Use what is the most comfortable for you. It goes back to the old saying each to their own.

I just use a peep as well. I pull back, aim and stuff falls over. Works well for me. Using a smaller peep and lighted pins works for me to be as accurate as possible (I only use the lights when light conditions are very low or I am in a ground blind). I find that the larger peeps can make me a little inconsistent as well.

I am totally different...I draw and kisser is automatically in same spot every time...no peep or loop...and it is incredibly accurate for me...

If you have to think about your kisser the draw may be slightly too long..which is the norm..or even too short...and you have to move your head to anchor properly...if stance is a perfect and body is a perfect T with head straight bow draw should come to you perfectly each draw...makes a huge difference..

What size of peep would be the best to try? and how bad are they in low light?

I think the most common is 5/16. You can go bigger or smaller but it will depend on the size of your sight housing.

Default Anchor Sight

The Anchor Sight works well enough and is an acceptable substitute for a peep sight if someone has an issue with their vision that would prevent them from using a peep but over-all a peep sight works best.

What I really liked about the anchor sight is that it taught me how to recognize when I was torquing my bow by applying too much pressure on the grip.

I don't use an Anchor Sight anymore and wouldn't knock anyone that does but I shoot far better with just a peep.
