    Default Perry's No Peep vs IQ Field Logic micro bow sight?

    Plenty of competing info on various archery forums... just wondering if anyone here runs either of these sights and what your opinion is.

    Obviously, Perry's is double the price. I like the fact that his system puts the torque indicator in the pin window/FOV, is made in America, and is a homegrown design with a definite POC for any issues. He also offers a money back guarantee.

    I'm fairly sure IQ is made in China, which is a downside. I've also seen a lot of folks saying they dislike having to shift their eye tot he ring and away from the pins. Its price point is nice.

    Talking with the wife, she is convinced of a few things: 1) archery will be a big component with me and the boys as they grow. 2) don't risk not putting meat in the freezer cus I wanted to save $100 on a critical component. I'm leaning towards Perry's for these and the above mentioned reasons/

    Thank you for any input!

    Wish I had some input for you. This will be my first year bow hunting, and I have my oldest daughter in archery and shooting in 4-H. Both bows came with sights. I am shopping for some new sights as well...I did not even know about the no peep option.

    The no peep options are a neat concept -- shows bow torque and/or anchor point issues prior to the shot. Still need to release it properly, obviously, but in any situation where terrain is an issue, or excitement takes over, they offer an immediate awareness of pre-shot issues. Just not going to get that with a peep.

    I still need to call Perry and make sure I understand his product, that it will fit my bow, etc. He also sells the APO (Alignment Pin Only), but I need a whole new sight and would prefer a complete system.

    I like the price point of the IQ -- $118 is more easily stomached than $215. Reviews I've read have the same feedback as the PNP: people either love it or hate it. The difference is, I've seen negative reviews on the IQ as far as craftsmanship, durability, etc. that make me uncomfortable. I've probably read through all the archerytalk threads on PNP and not a single negative review as far as craftsmanship and durability for Perry's product. Only negative comments are either from people who haven't tried them and poo-poo the concept (i.e., "just get good!" "Peep s good enough for X pro, it's good enough for me" sort of stupidity), or who tried it and just couldn't get over the concept requiring a retraining curve on their technique. Based on what I've seen in the shooting world, I suspect they're happy with the ignorance of inconsistent form that's not bad enough to demand correction and can be blamed on other factors. Since I'm just getting back into my bow, and need to learn proper form anyway, I have no problem with an immediate-feedback method showing me I'm a retard before I release the arrow.

    If I go with it, I'll definitely write up a little review on here in case anyone else is interested.

    I got one of the expensive IQ sights, don't remember which one, 2yrs ago.
    I liked the idea that it would help me out some with form/torque.... But in the end I don't look at that little extra dot. I like the brightness of the fiber optics, and the close spacings I could get on the pins. Good sight, holds my pins well, durable enough for when I shoot everyday and taking it hunting

    Just find a sight you like...

    Right, that is my concern with the IQ in its application -- looking away from the pins. Which is one of the reason I'm leaning towards the PNP.

    PNP offers a Black Gold sight ring on his chassis w/ the APO. I'm looking at the Tack Driver model. Need to see what his opposite eye (cross dominance) model runs since I'm left eye dominant.

    He's a pretty no frills operation. Has as many products as IED makers have fingers:

    Here's how I used the sight...during training before hunting I would look to iq dot and adjust my form as needed. The closer I got to hunting season I would use it as a spot check to make sure the muscle memory is where it needed to be. Once I got in the field all I looked at were my sight pins.
