So after missing some critters with my bow, I have really wanted to sell it and get a crossbow so that I can still archery hunt, but have the best chance at making a kill shot Everytime. Well my bow is not selling for anything close to what I want so I'm thinking about other options. I have trouble seeing the deer through the peep and is why I was missing deer. My first thought is to change to a single pin or a pendulum sight instead of my fix multi pin. Other than that maybe changing to a thumb release, but I don't feel like the release is my problem. What say ALdeer?

I run an HHA Optimizer King Pin (KP-5519) with an 1/4" (need to measure, but it's pretty big) peep sight. I like the larger inside diameter sights a lot. I'm not an archery expert, but my accuracy greatly improved with that sight and peep sight setup.

I hunted with compounds for 30 plus years, tried just about everything in the way of sights and finally settled on a single pin and shot that for many, many, many years with great success. But I didn't have the false notion that I could shoot deer like shooting at stationary 3d targets at 30, 40, 50, 60, etc yards which seems to be all the rage. Single pin works best in the hunting woods and is simple, sight it in for whatever yardage you want as spot on and understand your arrow trajectory.
Or, get rid of sights all together and shoot instinctively, sure has made shooting a bow a lot more fun for me after all these years.

Do you know what size peep you have now? You can get several different sizes, I think mine is 3/16” ID. Cut through the cove over to Gurley and check another size out at Backwater. (256) 776-9109 He should be open tomorrow Yeah I know Chancey. My bow actually at his shop trying to he sold. But since I can't make any money off it. I'll save my money and try again after some changes. The bigger peep and single pin are the first changes to happen.
