Well heres two questions I've always wanted to know... Which one? feathers or fletchings [viens]? and why? and also another big one with me... Kisser button, or peep? and also why? These are two personal bow options that I love to argue and hear points on, also I lean more torwards a kisser button and most people neglect or put down the old style. So whats your choice and why?

viens and peep sight. feathers don't last as long and will get wet and not shoot the same. I like the peep because it makes me feel more accurate. Its more like shooting a rifle and its all about what makes you more confident.
Just shoot them a lot, they all work.

Plastic veins are better that feathers.
I do not care for peep sights. I think they are good on target bows or for 3D shooters but for hunting they are bad news. Think about it. Why have something obstructing your shooting eye? Peeps reduce your field of vision, your light and cause you to shut one eye resulting in loss of depth perception.

I've never used feathers but I'm thinking about it because my brother (a trad shooter) has some good arguments FOR them. As far as a kisser button, never used one of those either, but they make sense, especially when using a peep. I'm finding out, every time that I shoot, that form is everything in archery. I am teaching myself to do the same thing, the same way, every time. A kisser would probably help, IMO.

Well, I use both kisser button and peep. I use the kisser button as a reasurance on my accuracy. Because they teach you to shoot with a peep with your hand under your jaw and nose on the string. But for me I don't always get it as perfect. So I use the button with a peep just so my anchor point is ALWAYS or at least 9 out of 10 times right on! I've never used feathers but I plan on shooting a recurve next year so I suppose I'm going to have too.

Feathers. I would rather not use plastic. I used to make my own arrows and I might do so again, feathers on wood arrows are my preference. Peep sights? clickers? No way I shoot the way I learned as a kid in the 70's instinctively. It takes more practice when you are beginning but it goes with the KISS rule.

used a peep and kisser button for hunting and last year took advice from an old time bow hunter and removed my peep and will never put it back on for hunting. My accuracy never changed using just the kisser button and took every deer and pig I shot at. Got a new bow this year and the hunting buddies came by and shot my old bow without a peep and shot groups as good without a peep as they did with one. We are getting ready for this season and I noticed they do not use peep sights anymore just a kisser button.
