Yes it will assist in aiming. It's like the iron sites on a gun. Just line the two up.

 

If you have a solid achor point that is repeatable, no need for a peep.

How good are your groupings?

 

Well I just got done shooting, this rtelease is a tad bit weird feeling but I'm getting comfortable with it, I havent shot over 20 yds yet, but at 20 I'm grouping 3 out of 5 within about 3 inches, but I'm straying a couple, I notice when I'm grouping them I'm looking right through the string at the pin, and I think I might get a peep put in this week.

 

A peep may tighten up your groups. But it will restrict you in shooting in low light. You will usually be done 15 min before shooting time ends.

When I started I used finger realease and a kisser. When I went to a peep and a mechanical release my groups tightend up alot more, especially at 30 and 40 yards.

They are only a few bucks, you could try one and see how you like it. Just dont get the kind with the noisy rubber tubing.

 

I should also ad that I'm shooting at a 2"x2" piece of tape on my target and I put three arrows into it one round. So I think its a matter of anchoring exactly the same everytime.

 

If you shoot with both eyes open and you get a schurz-a-peep in the magnum size then you will not restrict to much light. That is the best set up I have found thus far. I install peeps everyday and I cannot tell you how many people shoot with one eye closed. Anyways, try both eyes and the schurz-a and you will like it.

 

I dont close one eye anytime I shoot anything.

 

I'd check out sights that eliminate the need for a peep sight. I've used an Eradicator and a Hind Site and highly recomd eithor of them. Go to a pro shop and try them out before messing with a peep sight.

 

Well I just bought a brand new sight so I think thats out of thew question.

How do you know if a sight is made to eliminate the need for a peep sight?

I bought a fuse buckhorn.

 

I just bought this one:

You line the back X up with the pin. Only one pin, but for where I hunt, that's enough. Spent a little time sighting it in so far, need to spend a little more, but pretty accurate. Basically it gives you two points (the x and the pin) which you line up, similar to a peep and the sight pin or an anchor point and the pin.

The Hind Sight can be used with just about any peep sight. It is a rear reference sighting device. There are others on the market as well that can also be used in conjuction with your sight. Besided eleminating the need for a peep sight, these devices also reduce tourquing and promote better shot mechanics. They are not for everyone though, so as I recomended, go try one out and see what you think.
