I took the single pin plastic sight off my kids bowand added a self stick target dot to the limb on my bow at my perfect bow hold. I basically line up 2 sights. 1. Through the peep which I just changed from the one that had the hose to one without. 2. I line up the plastic single pin with my point i placed on the bow. Give the perfect anchor point, If lined up properly. Stop's Torqing and does'nt git in your target view. It worked for me.
Basically that is what the hindsight does, insures good anchor point.

Fix the basics and the rest will follow.

Thanks Fishcrazy

Also shoot a 3 d course great practice with elevatons and obstaclesand FUNNNNNN!

I don't understand how this is better. I understand the concept, but with the "hind sight", you have to first line up the anchor points and then look at your pin / target. Using the conventional method, you only have one focus and that is your pin through the peep. Why add something additionally you need to focus on? Just like the Hind Sight website talks about levels on sights, they have found it isn't used when actually hunting...just something extra that gets in the way.

My dad wears glasses as well, and shoots a hind sight. He has had pretty good luck with his, although it does take some adjusting to when you first start shooting it. The hindsight works like a a rifle sight on a gun. You have two objects to lign up and put on your target, it isn't that hard to use, and if anything it will make you take an extra second and really aim at a spot on your target. Saying that a hindsight gets in the way when you are shooting is like saying that the sights on your gun get in the way when you are deer hunting. And many people use levels on their sights when target shooting, to hold the bow as level as possible. Making a habit of holding your bow level when target shooting will help build muscle memory, and will train you to hold your bow level naturally when hunting. Gainer, just saw the picture of your first bow kill buck, congratulations that is a nice one.

Thanks Fish4Food.

I guess the way I understand the hindsight is that you have to align the hind sight first with your main site, then move the bow up/down until the right pin is on the target. With a gun, you align both sites with the target so there is not an additional step. Maybe I am visualizing it wrong. I would like to see it and even try it out...sounds like an excellent concept.
