Size of yellow when using a scope

I could be missing something obvious here as I am very new to compound bows, so please bear with me

I was under the impression that a sights scope would increase the size of the target area. However, when I look through my scope - through the peep, it is no different to the normal view I get from looking at the target with just my eyes. However, if I look through the scope without using the peep, the target / yellow looks massive.

Am i suppose to see an enlarged yellow or a normal sized yellow? and if normal, what's the point of the scope? or does this have something to do with the peep size?

BTW, I'm using a .75 lens.

I'm happy as it is, it just came about as we were talking about disadvantages / advantages of a magnified scope.

Thank you for your help.
