1377 peep sight?
« on: April 28, 2009, 02:41:28 PM »
I flipped the blade on the sight around to the peep side.

How do you sight it at arms length? What is the proper sight picture?

Any advice on using the peep?

The top of front post should be dead center in the middle of the peep. If you don't shoot with both eyes open, this is a good time to start. Closing the other eye makes it harder to see through the one you shoot with.



Target shootingusually uses tighter apertures in a peep sight, hunters prefer a bigger diameter. More light, bigger field of view, better situational awareness, at the cost of some precision.



I can't really get the hang of the six o'clock sight picture, I guess from shooting rifle too long. I bisect the target, or bull, with the top of the front post. I just find this more repeatable.

The peeper is generally used with a shoulder stock.
