Default Single pin sight (without peep)

Hey I am wondering if anyone can suggest a single pin adjustable sight, but also that doesn't need a peep. I only seem to find single pin sights that require a peep or peepless sights that are fixed pin

Not sure the question....a peep is always optional.

x2 peep is never required if that's what you want but they do help

Are you referring to the IQ bow site?

I am obviously new to archery

My understanding is that you normally need a peep in order to get consistent accuracy, but some sights have a mechanism to allow for proper torque and alignment without needing a peep.. Like the Iq sight, I was just looking for a single pin instead of the multi pin

As far as I know the IQ is the only site available with the alignment bubble incorporated directly into the sight. There are other options available like the peep eliminator. In my opinion, a peep is the simplest, most reliable system to use, but to each their own.

I think Lefty might have a pic floating around with one of those peep eliminators on it?

The Anchor Sight can be used with any sight, as can the Timberline No Peep. The technology for the IQ sight came from Timberline and the No Peep is no longer available....unless you can find a used one.

Or you can just go commando and not use a peep...easy to do ..

Start without...then try one later and see if there is improvement enough to justify the peep...

I was looking for the same set up Best option was Anchor Sight with whatever adjustable single pin you prefer. Currently use the IQ but want to try out a single pin option.

The anchor sight can be found at:

So far on the adjustable single pin it seems HHA and Spott Hogg are contenders

IQ sight doesn't make a single pin.

Trophy Ridge React One is good quality. I'll be using the Trophy Ridge React Trio this year along with my anchor sight.

Anchor sights (as already mentioned) can be added to any sight, can also be used with a peep (if you so desire) or none (like me) - I just put the string along the sight housing everytime.

Default Anchor Sight

I purchased an anchor sight on Friday and spent the weekend fine tuning the set up with my current anchor points. I am using it with a simple Tru Glo 5 pin sight. Today I removed the peep and gave it a go. Here is a look at my 3rd group at 40 yards. it took the first 2 rounds to develop a little confidence in the system, but I think I am going to really enjoy getting rid of the peep.

Default Single pin sight

The HHA XL 5519 or the Spot Hogg are two very good sights, CBE and Apex also make great sights.. but they are pricey but worth it.. personal choice at the end of the day. I dont use a peep so it irrelevant, peep or no peep for sights in general

Nice work. Any chance you can post a picture of the anchor setup?

Not the best pictures but here you go. I also tried under the sight and forward of the riser, but "up and back" was the best for me based on how I draw and anchor.
