Perry's No Peep

[Ajohnson0587]

If your on Archerytalk I'm sure you guys have seen this setup before. It's a pretty cool idea and it seems like it could defiantly add more time to your hunt in low light situations. My lease is about 90% hardwood and during bow season (plenty of leaves on the trees) I run out of shooting light fast, as opposed to hunting a field/plot. I'd like to get some of the veterans opinions on this setup. Is it beneficial to a hunter that hunts thick area or is it just a Gimmic. I'm just wanting to get an edge up on the deer this coming season, I had a really good buck come in one evening when it was just barely enough light to tell he was a shooter. I had him at 18yrds broad side dead to rights but could not line up a good shot looking through the peep. Maybe I just need a better sight?

Also if it's a gimmic what sights are you guys using that offer good low light shooting ability. Here are a few I've been looking at.

1. Black Gold Ascent
2. CBE TEK Hybrid
3. Spot-Hogg Hunter

Have not used any of these sights you listed....but it could be your just getting old?

Naw just went to the doctor last week, 20/20 still. Maybe they lied to me though... Can't really trust that Obama care lol

Have you tried shooting with both eyes open ? It helped me in low light conditions.

When I was at full draw trying to get the shot I opened my second eye hoping to have a better sight picture, but it didn't help. Maybe the pins on my sight just aren't bright enough?

Have the Black Gold Ascent ordered. Come highly recommended and Black Gold allows for custom orders.

I have been trying to decide between the Black Gold and the CBE, I'm gonna keep reading and make my decision in the next few weeks.
