HOW TO PROPERLY USE A PEEP SIGHT IN ARCHERY

[@karlmadsen3179]

I am unaware of anyone in the archery community who does a better job of clearly explaining essential concepts. Oh, and he never seems to miss his targets. Yes, he's not only a good teacher, he's crazy accurate, too. When The Dudley teaches, listen.

[@nockonarchery]

You are too kind, Karl...THANK YOU! Glad to have you a part of the Nock On Nation!

[@devinsullivan7233]

Nobody is better than Dudley

Levi Morgan. He is a 15 time world champion. Soooo

These videos have been so helpful in understanding the components of the bow and the many options out there to guide decision making. It’s my 2nd year shooting a compound bow and the Learning Archery 101 videos were an absolute game changer for how I shoot and significantly improved my accuracy. There are no other videos out there I’ve seen that communicate as effectively as these.

[@kenriddle830]

Being a new Compound* archer peep sights are a new experience coming from shooting recurve. Clear accurate words of advice that makes it easy to remember when picking up my new bow. Legend mate thank you !

[@crossbowhunter9118]

When I first started shooting compound I did not start out with using a peep sight I must have shot 3-4 years before my archery shop told me about a peep. I also shot fingers for 2 years then I got into the index finger style release. Shot that for a long time now I am using a different release. That hinge release that I use is great I highly recommend it. But it will take time to be able to shoot one you use different muscles than a index finger style. But you don’t punch the trigger with the hinge. You aim at the target and don’t stop pulling back the hinge. At a certain point it will fire. I was told you don’t want to be anticipating the shot or you will flinch and go off target you want to be surprised when it goes off.

[@tevo7364]

Running a nose button along with peep on my bow made it super consistent on my end. Thanks again Dud!

[@ArniePenner]

Learn something new on each of these videos. Thank you

[@catlin-vn1sh]

John forgets more than most of us will ever remember. Seeing him years ago got me into archery.

[@theed365]

When I got back into archery, it was the first time I used a peep sight. Due the my military training, front sight post and rear sight aperture is exactly what I was thinking during the learn process.

[@woodman1701]

Answered every question I ever had in one presentation. Thank you.

[@terrydewayne7690]

Lol...blind as a bat with old man eyes..used 3/16 for 30 years..and then miopia struck me down...now i have to shoot a donut 5/16..AND i had to finally accept a verifier ...my pin turned into 5 dots...holy cow its big...and heavy but i can see my pins again ! I did go to a bigger housing to match it...the donut in my string look grew on me..i do have to be aware of debris...using no anti fog...have had zero fog issues...it fogs when i walk into warm house but zero isdues so far in hunting...hate gettin my bow wet...ima primadonna bout that so i usually sit those days out anyway...nice video..always enjoy your stuff

[@coryturner476]

There is no one better ! J.D. is truly gifted in the art of archery. I appreciate all you do J.D. 🤘🏼 Still waiting on my Carbon Levitate, going on 6 months now But I know it will be worth it.

[@prockfisherman8661]

Best video on peeps so far. 👌

[@eddiealvarez5493]

Great job John. That was clear instruction, for the rear peep!

[@jeffreyfred4817]

I’m a big fan of the total peep, if you’ll notice as the camera pans across all the peep sights the total peep you are able to see a perfect circle the entire time it’s in frame, so when it’s in the string and you come to full draw even if your peep is twisted a little bit it doesn’t affect the sight picture unless it’s way outa whack, but I would be willing to bet it’s probably also one of the heavier peeps on the table but I’m not 100% on that one. Solid video as always 🤘

[@caninphx]

second total peep, Also love hamskea raptor but I've never been able to get it be 100% straight at full draw. I can get it darn close, that's where the total peep shines can be slightly off and still see everything to align it.

[@kennylainhart7148]

Great information for archery, Thanks brother 👍😎

[@mikekotomski8950]

The peep is a help. I have the Square Up rear sight on three of my bows and they are tackdrivers. You line up the two vertical wires with the level in your sight and you instantly know if your twisting you wrist. Using a bow without the rear sight is the same as shooting skeet with my over/under shotgun.

[@chris_f_eden]

At 47 I just got a verifier peep. It is the greatest purchase I have ever made for my bow.

[@mathewfranciuc1377]

I had no idea how to aim until I watched this video very good job.

[@jthepickle7]

Can also shrink a peep hole with lamp black and epoxy. Take a beer can, hold a lighter/candle close to the bottom, collect some lamp black, turn over and mix a little epoxy in the 'bowl' of the can. With a needle, apply a little black epoxy all around the inside of the peep. If the hole is not round or too small, wait until the epoxy sets and drill it out with the right-sized bit.

[@clodismccuien8082]

I am new to archery, I have friends that have been doing it for a while and they have a hard time explaining what I am doing wrong... I think this video has just answered that question for me... My grouping is spaced more than it should be at 20yd.. I have shot better...so I know it's not my equipment... it must be me... I'm going to go try this right now.,

[@cgtung]

Thank you for teaching me how critical it is for something so basic to increase accuracy. btw John, would you mind explaining your TAC bow setup? You mentioned your scope in this episode, I would be interested in learning your setup for this. Rock on, brother

[@jordang94]

my PSE Embark has been having lots of string issues , peep twist my serving coming off , my bow shop sucks majorly , he set my first bow up wrong , how many archers has he set their bows up wrong , how many people gave up on archery due to not knowing the issues with their bows, we want to get more people into archery to grow the sport ! im sure he has set up new archers bows wrong and they got frusterated and gave up on archery. my PSE Embark is a nice bow , but the bow shop guy is a know it all , he tied my D loop on wrong , my cam timing was a 1/2 inch out , my rest timing was wrong , my sight that came on my pse embark was broken. micro adjust was not working , and it was missing the light . my string stop was a quarter inch away from the bow string , John i need some help , this shop is setting up new archers for failure ! i talked to someone at PSE and they said oh jake wouldnt let anyones bow leave the shop unless it was perfect ,then pse guy said, he has worked on my bow many times , then the bow shop billed me for fixing their shotty work, thanks for everything you do for the archery community !

[@aaronrichison1101]

I have a peep question John, I have always set up my peep to fit the site scope at 20 yards. I use a single pin adjustable sight and when i start to move the pin down for longer shots the housing starts to not line up as well. Should my head be adjusting to still see the site housing perfect aligned with the peep or should i stay where it would normally line up and only be able to see the part of the scope.

[@mmcguire5687]

I’m far sighted, so I have great vision except for what’s right under my nose. I use a Specialty Archery 1/4” peep with a verifier in it and have at least 15K arrows through that type of setup. Besides targets and 3D, I have also hunted with this set up with no issues. That includes, dirt, dust, rain, and snow. Not once have I ever had anything occlude my peep hindering my ability to see through it. I would like to try a 3/16 set up, but at nearly $100 CDN for all the components, I am hesitant to spend that much, switch my bows and set ups on an experiment that may or may not work for me.

[@cozycare1655]

Awesome info on peep sights. I’m just getting started into archery and planning on a hunt with my father in law next year. I’m currently using a 1/4” tru peep and its just on the outside ring of my front site. But I like the idea of going a bit smaller so it’s on the in inner ring of the front sight when aligned properly

[@timfunk5084]

As always very well thought out video. Great job John

[@SummerLewis-g6h]

Excellent video thank you

[@gerardoacuna4859]

Yes, great mentor and teacher. Would love to shake your hand and have a long distance teacher lesson from the best and accurate. Jerry TX , El Paso.

[@michaelangio7844]

Clearly explained. Thank you.

[@ignismedia-thepursuitofgod7512]

Super awesome and educational video qs always john!! Thank you for all you do in the archery world!

[@nockonarchery]

You bet! Thank you!

[@dustinbriggs6297]

Thank you! How about a single pin slider vs multiple pins sight, if you eclipse your peep on both, wouldn’t the results be different? I’ve mainly used multiple pin sights and always centered the pin for the desired distance in the peep (before watching this) which would be the same concept as eclipsing the sight on a single pin at all distance. I guess my question is do you still eclipse on multiple pin sights?

[@kev6916]

Im not bullshitting I have been shooting archery for about 20 years and I'm 26. I have always thought you were supposed to put the bottom of the peep sight where the pin is. so your telling me I have been carrying this bad habit for 20 years.....

[@devinsullivan7233]

Great video

[@jasonbourgeois8363]

Appreciate all the education you put out. It’s really making a difference for my journey. One question - should my peep be a perfect eclipse over my slider set at 20yds and then at higher yardage say 80 yds? Mine ends up being half eclipse when I shoot out further.

[@gordonfuentes808]

wut a awsum video👌🏾 very detailed n xplained very wel💯 ez 2 undastan n follow along onda diff types of peeps👍🏾 gona let dis sink down deep insy my 🧠 mahaloz n alooooooooha 🤙🏾😎✨🏝️

[@michaelruebusch2275]

This would have been great if you actually showed what it looked like lining up the different peeps and front apertures.

[@havoctrainingmethods]

so if I have a dovetail mount and I am dialed in with it, then I move the dovetail in or out a little, will that effect my elevation and where my arrow is hitting. i.e. my sight tape? Thanks in advance. Can't wait for TAC CO!

[@AlphaChimpEnergy]

Brofessor!

[@robertfazekas4607]

Really good video, just what I needed!! Guys do you have any Nock on archery stickers? Would be nice on my bow case. Kind regards Robert.

[@blizzbee]

What is the brand/model of the bow display on the table?... I'm new to the compound archery. Thanks

[@nockonarchery]

PSE EVO NTN

[@thetruemask]

good video just clarified some points as a beginner but must say would have been much more helpful is you showed some footage of the sight picture also

[@crossbowhunter9118]

I shoot a hinge release. At full draw my anchor point is not the same as when I shoot a index finger style release. I do run a peep sight. In order for me to see the sight I have to move my hand with my release in it down slightly what does that mean? Is that normal for my anchor point not to be the same with the index finger style release and the other one? I shoot my hinge in the off season at the archery shop and target practice then I will hunt with my index style release.

[@RonFleener]

What causes broad heads to favor left or right? My field points are spot on, however my brodheads all fly 6 inches right. Im a left handed Archer, ive also tried 3 different kinds of brodheads.

[@SF-ct3jz]

It's called planing. Get correct spined arrows yours seam like weak spined arrows and look into some fletching then paper tune

[@gemeni69]

So after 30+ years of bow hunting I now wear glasses and hate it. Would it work getting a peep with a clarification lense so I could stop wearing the glasses when shooting?

[@brucelewis1017]

Is it better to shoot with both eyes open or is it better to close you're non dominant eye and shoot

[@robboss1839]

That depends on eye dominance and which sport. Competitive shooters block there off eye to simulate it being closed without the eye strain. As a hunter the extra situational awareness is great as well as reduced eye strain, but that’s only if your eye dominance matches your hand dominance

[@timothycoulter2848]

Where can I get one of those posters thanks

[@johnwaw6363]

I have a 33” draw. How does that change the size of peep I should choose?

[@Baderasiri1]

Question: when you adjust the front sight position up/down to match your shooting distance, wouldn't the peep sight come off alignment and now you need to change your anchor! How to tackle this?

[@kylebiddinger8974]

Take half your max and align at that distance.

[@danielbartel2840]

Thank you

[@eyesintheskies]

I had my peep site installed recently and having never shot a bow before , been asked at the bow shop if it looked right made no sense. What would I know 🤷‍♀ can see straight thru it but then it screws up my anchor position. Guessing that means it’s in the wrong position?! Advice anyone?

[@nockonarchery]

Yeah you don't want to have to change your anchor to see through your peep. I have a video on the channel about peep location

[@TheCompoundBowHunter]

What bow do you have in this video

[@denniskeys8559]

What about back in early 80’s and 90’s the housing was square I shot better I would just line the pin in the center of the pep sight

[@pinksupremacy6076]

Do you need a peep sight for accuracy or can you go without?

[@xNamikazeMinatox]

If you are consistent enough with your Anchor point, it should not make that much of a difference. With recurve you dont use a peep. Long time since i shot with a recurve but consistently hit yellow.

[@adamjones8677]

So I been shooting archery since I was 5yrld I am now 38 and I like the idea of smaller means less error but he then said smaller means less light making it harder to see so it's kind of a false positive

[@CJ-Foygelo]

Awesome

[@appalachianpursuit2924]

My peep keeps twisting. I would imagine it is hurting accuracy

[@donfrance3]

Thanks for the info ..... the clarifier combinations with lenses was a major break thru in long range refined sight picture. You can actually see the target lines out past 50 yards when the combination of glass is just right for the conditions. I carry a peep kit along with changeable apertures so any shoot event can have lighting where a different size may work ... ie. larger hole for indoors when it seems much more dark than outside shoots. Thanks . see these fight kzbin.info/www/bejne/imGxeXewj7SrbbMsi=WTCOwdErWuTvi_ZK
