    I'm with you on the three s's. Sometimes you can get lucky and get away with the sight or sound. Your percentage rate on smell is 0%.

    Obviously a lot of the height that a person can set their stand up is dictated by the height of the canopy. Not all of my stands can be or are that high.

    i like to be in that 25-30ft height. i have always set my stands pretty high. It really depends on the spot you pick.

    Sorry for some of the typos guys. A lot of times I just talk into my phone and I don’t have my glasses on so I can’t see exactly what it’s writing. My apologies

    Most of my stands are in the 15-18 foot range. A couple are a little lower. My favorite spot is a little pinch point, an oak flat that wraps around a knob. Might be 40-45 yards wide before it drops down a steep hill. Prevailing winds carry my scent over the deer as they come up the hill or feed along the flat.

    I blame my phone for everything

    The company that makes them has two styles. Clarifier and visualizers. The clarifiers are for people that use magnifiers in their front sight, like competition people. The visualizer are for people that wear reading glasses. Here are a few examples but in short, The company that makes them has two styles. Clarifier and visualizer. The clarifiers are four people that use magnifiers in their front sight, like competition people. Visualizer are four people that wear reading glasses. Here are a few examples but in short there are six different powered lenses that you screw in to the peep site size you choose. Most bow shops will carry a sample card with all six in a piece of wood with a string for you to hold out a makeshift sites front of you and put up to your eye to see which one works best. You can buy them individually or by them in sets pending on your preference.

    I would shop around, because they’re not the only ones that have them. I myself along to archerytalk.com and picked up the holder for like five dollars off of someone and I think I paid like $21 for my len

    And to answer anybody’s questions, hell yeah I love that peep site. It saved my hunting game
