I don't use a peep anymore either.
Ditched it last year for the Hindsight system.
Much better in low light situations.

If the WB "has too much contact to be accurate", how is it possibe then to paper tune to perfect tears. After all, if the arrow leaves the rest flying straight, why would that arrow not be accurate?
Laws aren't preventative measures. In other words, more laws won't prevent gun crime from happening.

Much better in low light situations. Hindsite, is that like a No-Peep? I went to a huge peep AND a No-Peep above my sight, mounted just low enough I can see it and check for torque.

Still toying with getting one. They are cheap so if it doesn't work, no biggie. I like the simplicity of them. I am going on a remote elk hunt this fall, would be nice not to have bells and whistles all over my bow. I don't even shoot a peep though, I like to keep it basic. Shelf with beaverskin on a recurve is custom built for remote hunts like that one. Took mine on a caribou hunt in 2003, never found a big enough one close enough though.... but for foolproof... instinctive with a recurve is it.
We can keep Larry Root and all his idiotic blabber and user names on here, but we can't get Ralph back..... Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, over....

If it is really remote, I would take a backup bow anyway. Maybe you could take your compound AND a recurve. On my first caribou hunt I took a rifle and a longbow. A takedown bow would be nice.

Who would have thought that a post on the most popular rest east of the Mississippi would have made 9 pages of argument? I've hunted with and owned some of the most expensive longbows & recurves you can buy but it doesn't make me superior to those who don't. When I'm serious about putting meat in the freezer the compound goes to the woods.

Price doesn't always make something good. There are a lot of inexpensive rest on the market. Hell the flipper rest on my finger bow may have cost me $10-. One can always spend a lot of money on things, but it doesn't always make it better. A WB is an expensive bandaid as far as I am concerned.

Different execution but the same result. Hindsight forces a consistent anchor point and consistent torque free grip. For too many years I was frustrated by even the big 1/4" peeps in first and last light.

Bottom line, try a WB. Its cheap, if you don't like it try something else.
