My friend has one and loves it says he will never use a peep again ,it reminds me of the quick point by weaver but with a circle around the dot i bet a quick point would work if you make a mount for it but it would be heavier

been there done that. it does what it says.

can be destracting for some people. seamed to make my shot sequence a lot longer. could not get use to an anchor point when looking around the string.

its a good product. does what it says.

I NEVER SHOT IT ON ROSS!!!! So i really don't know for sure.

It is a neat but not for this guy............
I found the Gadget just "too much" for me to try to look at and then get a good sight picture from the bow sight. 8)
I can chew bubble gum and walk....just can't use this Anchor and sight in at the same time. :)
I don't like the idea it being dead on at 20 yards then lowering the bubble on further distance shots, why use it then is my thinking...
I know a few gents that love it though.

I have had one on my Legacy for about 4 years and loved it. mdewitt71 - I'm not sure what you're talking about with the "set for 20 yards then lowering the bubble for further distances" comment. All you need to do at any yardage is take a quick peek at it to know you are at your proper anchor point and then forget about it and shoot. For those of you who don't know what it is - it is basically like a No-Peep, but much easier to set up and easier to aquire once you are at full draw.

It works with any type of sight. Its only function is to let you know you are at the proper anchor point. It will also point out any grip issues at full draw.

Here is how it works. Once at full draw, you take a quick peak at the Anchor Sight. What you are looking at is a circle on the far side of the housing and a ring on the near side. If the circle is inside the ring, you know you are at your proper anchor point and you then go about your normal routine, focusing on the sight and target. It really isn't complicated at all. You glance at it for a split second once you are at full draw - no different than making sure your sight housing is centered in your peep.

The advantages:
You do not need a peep sight.
It is tremendous for low light shooting.
I think it is easier to shoot with both eyes open.
Shows other potential form/grip flaws other than just your anchor point.

I'm not trying to convince anyone they should try one, I just want to clear up some misconceptions about it. Again - I have one on my Legacy (now my back up bow) and I do not have one on my 337. I may decide to put one on my 337 if I am not satisfied with my low light shooting with a peep.

If it works for you then COOL BEANS. :(
What I was refering to in shooting longer distances is as they describe on their website-

At longer distances they recommend you use the anchor bubble lower than "dead center".

mdewitt -

Sorry - I didn't realize they even considered that as an option. I wouldn't recommend doing that at all. What you are doing when you move the bubble down is changing your anchor point (lowering it a bit). I would definately recommend just centering it at all times (so you are at the same anchor all the time) and then using your pins as you normally would. I have shot this way with it for several years with my Legacy and had no issues with accuracy at longer distances - I even won a few club championships shooting with one.

The way I am understanding it, it would be easy to learn what yardages are with this device.

In ASA, you cannot even put your hand up toward the target as they feel that you can use thatto range a target..... :???:
