Looking into getting one of the more elongated peep sights on my hunting bow just to help reduce the glare I get when shooting. I had a hard time at some 3D events this year with glare, so I’m looking into the hamskea raptor, total peep and specialty peep. Anybody used one or multiple of these?

Hamskea. No question. Their baffling is really nice.

I haven't tried the others, but I have a Raptor peep on my current setup and plan to continue using them on any bows I buy in the future. Unless I have to get a verifier (or clarifier, I forget which is which) cuz my target tends to get a little blurry out past 50 yds or so

I ran a Total Peep for a few years, and currently a Raptor… like em both. But after a few years I had some string twist issues with the Total Peep that I just could not resolve, so I put it on the shelf for now. Once I get a new string I wouldn’t hesitate to try it again, but in my experience the bigger the peep the trickier perfect alignment is. I tie the peeps in tight but I don’t cinch the ends of the peep string split diamond any more, that helps somewhat with twist.

I tried a Raptor for a while and ended up going back to the trusty RAD Super Deuce. Raptor is big and bulky, and if your peep is twisted at all at full draw it shows up a lot more than with a non-tubular type peep. Also the longer peeps like that suck in low light, so for hunting, not ideal.
