 Here
he comes, the biggest buck you've every seen in the woods, and naturally
he's coming from a direction you didn't expect. You have an opening but
you must twist around like a contortionist to shoot behind you at 15 yards.
You draw back, center your pin in the peep sight, and wait in the opening.
As soon as he's in the clear you let out a soft grunt and he stops. You
release and your arrow looks like it's inside a pin ball machine bouncing
off branches at light speed and ends up stuck harmlessly in a sapling.
This causes the buck to explode out of sight in the blink of an eye.
What went wrong? It should have been a slam dunk shot! Everything looked fine! Now he's gone and your left with that gut wrenching feeling that will haunt you for a long time to come. (Been There Done That!). One of the biggest problems that bowhunters face in hunting situations is knowing that they are in alignment without torquing the riser of the bow. Even a small amount of bow torque has an effect at close range and the farther the distance the more effect it will have. In bowhunting there are very few opportunities where you can stand, draw, anchor and release with the same form you have on the range and with bulky hunting close on the task becomes even more difficult. Everyone knows that consistent accuracy with a bow means doing the same thing, over and over, and by the very nature of a peep sight it is simply impossible to show one of the single most important factors in consistent accuracy, "Bow Torque".
Just this past season I had a classic example. I was in my tree stand about 50 yards, back in the woods, from the edge of a field. As it got light I could see a number of deer milling around and I watched as the does, yearlings and small bucks started leaving the field and heading into the woods in my direction. About 10 minutes later I had a small spike come right under my stand. I was standing there just enjoying watching him right below me when I noticed movement back in woods. It was a nice 8 point heading to the edge of the field through the real thick stuff to my right. It was the beginning of the rut and he was no doubt coming to check on the status of the does I was watching. He was moving quickly but then suddenly stopped at about 15 yards. As he stopped I saw the ripple behind his shoulder appear in an opening about 6 inches in diameter. I couldn't risk moving my feet for fear of spooking the spike, so in one motion I drew my bow and had to twist as far as I could to the right. As soon as I came to my anchor I could see that I was torquing my bow something awful, as my front pin was a good quarter inch to the left of the center of the cross hairs. I forced the pin into the center, held a little low, and released. The shot was perfect as the arrow threaded through the small opening and hit the hair on the ripple I was aiming at. He only went 30 yards before piling up. Using a peep sight I doubt if I would have been able to make this tough shot because it can't provide the rock solid alignment the Hind Sight rear sight does (need I say more?). Another of the outstanding benefit of the Hind Sight rear sight is the low light capability. Everyone who has hunted with a peep sight knows how difficult, if not impossible, it is to see your target during the first and last few minutes of legal shooting time. You get the biggest peep sight you can, drill it out (really defeating the purpose and accuracy in the first place) and it's still hard to see what you're shooting at. I won't even go into the rubber tube breaking or how frustrating it is to draw back and not have the blasted thing turned right (been there done that too!). With the Hind Sight rear mounted sight you have a large aperture, at almost arms length, that doesn't restrict the amount of light that reaches your eye, so you can still see your target. The primary key to the success of the Hind Sight is the open, glow-in-the-dark,
cross hairs which are designed not to obstruct the front pin or your target
and provide a rear reference point that is easy to see. These features
allow a bowhunter to line-up their sights and take aim even in low light
hunting situations. We have received emails and pictures from bowhunters
who hunt hogs at night (legal in some states) and they tell me all they
had was a silhouette. With a lighted front sight pin and the glow-in-the-dark
cross hairs of the Hind Sight they are able to line up for accurate shots
in almost total darkness. We think this says enough.
Are you tired of losing the most critical time of day, the first or last few minutes of hunting light, when the big bucks are on the move, and generally fed up with the problems of a peep sight? Do you want a sighting system that you can depend on to put you on the mark for that shot of a life time? Then get rid of the peep sight and replace it with the Hind Sight, "The Ultimate Peep Sight Eliminator" and you will become a better bowhunter!

With
the Hind Sight rear mounted sight attached to the riser of the bow it's
impossible to draw and not "see" if you are in alignment. There is no touchy
feelly thing to contend with, you are either in alignment or you are not!
By having two reference points, attached to the riser, you end up with
a rifle like sighting system that shows the slightest bow torque and anchor
misalignment. Centering your front pin in the open cross hairs of the Hind
Sight forces alignment which is one of the keys to consistent accuracy
and success.
