Method and system for determining a preferred location for a peep sight on a compound bow

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 certain anatomical measurements or information;
• receiving, via the user interface, the anatomical measurements or information;
• using the processor, according to instructions programmed into and executed by the processor, to derive an eye height measurement from the anatomical measurements or information;
• prompting the user, via the user interface, and according to instructions programmed into and executed by the processor, to input certain measurements of the compound bow;
• receiving, via the user interface, the measurements of the compound bow;
• using the processor, according to instructions programmed into and executed by the processor, to derive (a) a cam-to-arrow distance and (b) a right-to-D-loop distance based on the measurements 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.
