Anyone tried one of these? Well, I bought one and I really like it alot. Took me about 30 minutes to set it up. I actually feel like I am shooting alot better with it than with my peep sight. One thing I really like is I can shoot with both eyes open now where I couldn' with my peep I also don't have to worry about my peep twisting and not being able to see my pins.

I have, I got rid of it as fast as I could. I did not like it at all. It works for some and doesn't for other. Good luck with it.

I have been looking into getting one of these also. I have heard it takes a good while to get used to shooting it. I just want to get away from the peep period. Sure you can shoot really well with a peep, but I am looking for something that is better for hunting situations. I have killed all of my deer with a peep but I just think that something like the hindsight would be alot better for hunting.

My cousin shoots one and really likes it. He can shoot as good with it as I can with a peep out to 50 yards. I am gonna try one after my ram hunt in january.

I think that it would be better for hunting for alot of reasons. The most important to me would be the ability to shoot better in low light situations. We all know that you are limited with a peep sight even if you have a very large appeture in your peep. I know that you are never going to be able to shoot with a bow as late as you can with a rifle, but gaining some extra minutes can be nothing but beneficial. The next reason for me would be that you have to be anchored in the right place for everything to line up with the hindsight. You can have your anchor off a little and still be able to see through your peep wich causes accuracy problems. There are several more reasons that I feel it would be better for hunting. In my post above I said that I thought it would be beneficial for me, not someone else. If you don't like it that's fine, but I think that it would be good for me. I am going to purchase one and shoot it for a while before next season and then I will know for sure if I like it or not.

I do a lot of hunting at night with a bow. With the hindsight the reticle glows and with a light on the pins you can see everything. Right now I am illuminating my peep with a dim red light I wear on a headband, I can still shoot pretty decent, but it takes longer than I want to align my peep.

I have been using one this season and I like it pretty well. It is definitly better than a peep. Larger sight picture, no twisting, great at night, I could go on. -coy

For those of y'all who have used this, is it difficult to get used to looking at 2 pins at once? This 20 yard pin for 'aiming and centering' and whatever other pin for yardage?

I have had one on my last 3 bows, never a worry about peep twist, you never notice that you are looking at 2 pins. Great in low light, I shot out to 60 yds with no problem.
