Peep and Pin Shooters
Thought I'd start this thread for the folks in Pa that are looking for info since they get xbows next season, but no scopes above 1x which I'm not familiar w/ any.
I know it seems to me like every Excal I've put p&p on wanted them in the same location to be 'on target'. Says a lot about the quality of the product.
I've noticed the pin base wants to be just shy of flush to the inside, maybe a thumbnail thickness.
Seems like w/ pin dead on at 20, the black post below is on real close at 30.
Kinda hoping some of you P&P shooters will chime in for the benefit of our Pa brethern? gotta confess I'm kinda curious what some of you have come up w/ myself, including any multiple pin sights which I find kind of cluttered personally. Thanks!!

on my phoenix front pin is about 3/32" shy of the cutout as you said. even with my poor eyesight i can get 2 1/2" groups at 20 yds. and hit a playing card at 30 yds. all day long. i drilled out the peep to 5/16" so i can get abit of light i need early in the mornings.

Jim, what do you use for a pin then? Does by chance that height combo come out close enough to stock peep, one can use stock f/o pin?

I like the one that has 4 different sized peep holes which i use on an APEX target bow.

this the 2nd group & i lost 4 vanes during the shooting of 2 groups yesterday at 30 yds. thats min of deer all day long ppl in Pa. i don't like to shoot the same spot twice let alone 5 times even using a peep/pin setup. this is from a 58 year old fat man with poor eye sight.

on the peep on my old xbow, i used some higlo paint, orange to pick it up easier, since the front pins were just red tipped i higlowed them as well with orange.
worked out rather well. GL.
