excal question

Post by roadrunner »

hi new guy here;
i do alot of reading from the forum its very informative
in the spring i traded my 06 weathernmaster for a phoenix ifigure two months of deer vs one week of moose hunting makes alot more time to play
i was wondering why not too many people use the peeps that come with the bow in practicing at 30yds i can hit a 4 in circle consistantly the bow is fantastic i figured that would be p.d.g. for baggin deer considering the boiler is about the size of a volley ball ? this is a great place to tap into some excellent info thanks :D

welcome to the forum roadrunner. i can't speak for everyone else but the reason i use a scope is for light gathering in those low lit times early morning or late evening but everyone is different

There is nothing wrong with using the peep. That being said, the majority of us here probably need a scope to see the front peep sight.

Amen,amen, Mike. I now have scopes on everything except several handguns...even then I use 1.5 power reading glasses to see the sight.

Nothing at all wrong with the peep system , but i use a scope for more precision, like they say pick a spot , well with a scope you can put the arrow right inside that little spot, and acually watch it go in there , that is the cool part.

I never believed it would occur but after 50 yrs old most hunters need a scope(single plane focus) versus 3 plane focus- peep, pin and target. It really sucks getting old.
