| When you adjust the front sight on a compound, lower to shoot further, as Adam said, you raise the platform so they all line up again. What happens when the platform is raised?The drawing hand wants to remain in its place. The bow is raised, the top cam/wheel moves up a little and slightly closer to the archer's eye. The peep moves with the string, not as far as the top cam/wheel, but enough to make its movement detectable by the eye. To re-align the peep and the eye, requires an adjustment of the hand or the peep. The required hand movement is very slight, so many do it without ever noticing. Moving the peep is possible but often not worth the effort. If you want to check this out just come to full draw, look through your peep and raise then lower the bow as if shooting different distances in close succession. You will see the peep moving as the bow is raised and lowered. |
