1. A method for determining a preferred location for a peep sight on a compound bow, comprising steps of:
providing a processor programmed to execute instructions stored in a memory component;
providing a user interface in communication with the processor;
prompting a user, via the user interface, and according to instructions programmed into and executed by the processor, to input an eye height measurement;
receiving, via the user interface, the eye height measurement;
prompting the user, via the user interface, and according to instructions programmed into and executed by the processor, to input an identification of the compound bow;
receiving, via the user interface, the identification of the compound bow;
using the processor, according to instructions programmed into and executed by the processor, to retrieve (a) a cam-to-arrow distance and (b) a right-to-D-loop distance from a database based on the identification of the compound bow; and
using the processor, according to instructions programmed into and executed by the processor, to calculate the preferred location for the peep sight based on the eye height measurement, the cam-to-arrow distance of the compound bow, and the right-to-D-loop distance of the compound bow;
wherein a vertical reference line extends from (i) a first point of contact between an upper cam and a bowstring of the compound bow, and (ii) a second point of contact between a lower cam and the bowstring of the compound bow, when the compound bow is in a drawn position;
wherein a horizontal reference line is representative of an arrow in the compound bow in the drawn position;
wherein the cam-to-arrow distance is a measurement of a vertical distance between (i) the first point of contact and (ii) the horizontal reference line; and
wherein the right-to-D-loop distance is a measurement of a horizontal distance between (i) an intersection of the vertical reference line and the horizontal reference line and (ii) a D-loop of the bowstring in the drawn position.
