About Me & Us
- Corey B. James, "the Original Weatherbyman"
- I have been engineering cutting-edge hunting rifles and components since 1996... Known as "the Original Weatherbyman", makers of custom Weatherby Rifles. Now we also customize archery products! My passion is to develop some of the fastest weapons made. We assist bow manufactures starting out with state-of-the-art designs (theirs!) We improve and build custom release aids, sights, grips and other goodies to eliminate 100% bow torque advantage over the competition. We engineer trick devices in T6061 and Carbon Fiber extreme-special one-up designs only available at WCG, Inc.

Archery Innovations No Peep Product
I evaluated the Archery Innovations No Peep and can honestly say not worth the headaches. The Aluminum no-peep is well made but the micro adjustments consisted of a screw and set screw to "bend" in the aluminum frame of which is considered the vertical and horizontal micro-adjustments.
Adjusting for horizontal and vertical alignment of bending or altering the primary mounting platform is never a good engineering concept. The "old school" brass washers utilized behind the sight housing and against the powder coated "universal" mounting bracket also is not what I would consider good mechanical engineering or design.
The lens (front and back) fogged when moved from low heat to high heat, has no sealed lens making water and dirt enter the lens areas.
Additionally, the universal bracket is ugly, cluttered, heavy and adds weight and bulk. Not only is this product not needed there is simply no need for any string mounted peep sight to shoot well. Simple three-point facial touch points and a repeatable anchor point are only needed.
I am out to 55-60 yards now using only the pins of my 5 pin custom Black Gold Ignite Sight. Peep Eliminator devices like no peep, peep eliminator and hindsight are simply not necessary to shoot well. I have many ask me how the hell I can shoot at distance with no peep and no kisser button and that answer is very simple... daily practice and daily muscle tone and 100% entire focus on my natural anchor points.
I practice 1-3 hours per day and tone my arms 1-2 hours per day. There is simply no equal for muscle tone, muscle memory and actual practice with the intended weapon.
This being said, the Archery Innovations product "as tested" is a well made device with some engineering improvements that would make this a very viable option to peep sights and also help to assist the beginner enjoy archery faster. However, there again is simply NO equal to practice and if you change the true dynamics of archery in terms of form, touch-points, your poise and anchor points then I do not believe in a product that forces non-compliance of known skills that have been proved for hundreds of years...
I was offered 100% my money-back for this product but I was not interested as I was evaluating this product not for me but for others that insisted it was the best thing since sliced bread... of course the company offered my money back so that I would not write this blog or offer my opinions of the product in an un-biased format... not bashing the product but stating simple facts of engineering deficiencies and also deficient design considerations under real hunting environments....
Practice makes "near" perfect... you do not need this product or products like it to shoot very well.
