How far can you shoot with a peep sight?
But at both 100 and 200 yards, the peep sight held its own. At 300 yards, the optic had the clear advantage, though the group size was inadequate. Peep sights won’t work on every action, and in my hunting-rifle configuration, I wouldn’t shoot them past 200 yards.
How do aperture sights work?
Aperture (Peep) Sight: Combination of a bead or post front sight and a round hole set on the rifle’s receiver close to the shooter’s eye. To aim, you center the target in the rear peep or aperture sight, and then bring the front sight into the center of the hole.

What is a peep sight rifle?
: a rear sight for a gun having an adjustable metal piece pierced with a small hole to peep through in aiming.
How high should my peep sight be?
Traditional shooters often use a very low anchor point compared to compound. You might consider lowering your peep back down to a reasonable distance, say 5-3/4 to 6 inches to start. Then anchor higher on your face. It will feel weird at first, but after awhile the new anchor position will start to feel more natural.
How do I know if my peep sight is too high?
Having the proper peep height is imperative for this. If it is too high, your nose will float off the string, and too low will lead to the string “smushing” your nose in. A simple way to find the right spot for the peep height is to draw back an anchor with your eyes closed.
What happens if peep sight is too low?
the question is whether your peep AND sight are too low, making your neck bend more than you feel is comfortable. If just the peep is “low”, then your shot will be low. If your bow shoots well but you are not comfortable, then you will need to raise both.
What is the distance a slug can travel?
