Setting The Height Of The Peep Sight
Before Starting
Prior to adjusting the peep sight, you’ll want to take a few steps to make sure your bow is in the proper form. First, make sure your bowstring is at the correct draw length. This is the distance the string pulls back when you draw the bow. You will want to make sure when you draw the bow the peep sight is still in the center of the view. If the peep sight is off center, you may need to adjust the draw length.
Measuring The Height
Once your bow string is adjusted, you can begin measuring for the peep sight height. Hold up your bow and line up the peep sight to your dominant eye. Close one eye, then open the other eye and read the yardage indicator on the bow. This should be set to 5 or 10 yards. Measure the height of the peep sight from the center of the arrow. While looking through the peep sight, you should be able to see the yardage markings on the bow without having to tilt or angle your head backward.
Adjusting The Height
Once you have determined the right peep sight height, you can begin using the wrench and spacers to adjust the peep sight. First, loosen the peep sight screw and remove the peep sight. Use the wrench to loosen the spacers and remove the shim clips if needed. Place the spacers into the peep sight tube, making sure the numbers on the spacers face outward. Place the shim clips over the spacers and adjust the peep sight to the proper height. Once the peep sight is in place, use the wrench to secure the spacers and shim clips onto the peep sight tube. Finally, replace the peep sight in the bow string and use the screw to secure it in place.
Aligning The Peep Sight
Once the height of the peep sight is adjusted, you can move on to the alignment process. This process will ensure the peep sight is in the correct position, making it easier to have a clear sight when aiming the bow. Begin by loosening the peep sight screw and loosening all the spacers and shim clips, if needed. Move the peep sight until it lines up with the front sight on the riser. Once properly aligned, tighten the spacers and shim clips to secure the peep sight in place. Finally, replace the peep sight in the bow string and use the peep sight screw to secure it in place.
Adjusting the peep sight on a compound bow isn’t complicated once you understand the importance of the height and alignment of the peep sight. After measuring the height and adjusting the spacers, shim clips, and screws, you can be sure your peep sight is in the proper position to give you a clear sight when aiming the bow. With the proper adjustments, you’re sure to enjoy improved accuracy with your compound bow.
