Looks interesting. I might give it a go, I’m thinking about trying an “EZV” sight, it would be cool to go peerless with that.

Tried the EZV sight? Not exactly the solution for shooting Vegas but to constantly lob arrows into game sized target its pretty decent. I've been playing around with one for a couple years

Try an Anchor Sight for a “peep less” system, the nose button/kisser button helps for consistent anchor, but torque and grip changes won’t be noticed.

Yep, for hunting, a no peep system has huge advantages in low light conditions. It takes a bit of practice to get good at it, but it’s well worth the effort. At the range I used to go to, most guys didn’t use peeps, and boy could those guys shoot! They were all serious hunters though.

YES! Been shooting the anchor sight for many years now, like it very much.

Interesting I might have to try it , I just been trying without a peep and seems like I am more relaxed , soon as I use my peep I can’t stop myself from punching the trigger soon as my peep lines up with my pin. Frustrating, it’s in my head now lol

Never used a peep even before the Anchor Site was invented. As long as you have a consistent anchor point and torque free form you don't need to rely on an "Anchor Site" either.

I always used 3 fingers, touch the corner of the mouth. Worked great for me.

Not to over analyze, but it sound like your peep and sight ring alignment does not happen naturally as part of your draw and anchor sequence. You should be able to close your eyes, draw and anchor, move your finger into the shot position (resting on the trigger), then open your eyes and have perfect alignment. If this is not happening then something may be off with your anchor point, peep height, grip, balance left to right, draw length, draw weight, d-loop length, or release set-up.
Normally when I set this up, I worry first about perfect peep and sight ring alignment and then fine tune my draw length (string twists), d-loop length, release set up to where it is most natural and comfortable. Last thing I do is manipulate my stabilizer set-up for balance so I do not have to adjust my grip once at full draw and anchored.
If all you do is remove the peep but are still not naturally coming to full draw and anchor, you will continue to fight the bow and punch the trigger.

one thing that has helped me and practicing longer holds is to do just that. i try to draw my bow and anchor for as long as possible and float around my target at close range, less about focusing about hitting my bullseye but has helped build strength and patience ligning everything up. i started practicing this at very short ranges 5-10 yards mainly for safety. i do feel now my shots are getting more controlled because i’m not fatiguing as fast and rushing my shot
