Abstract
A peep sight for use with an archer's bow is fabricated from a non-opaque material to which a light enhancing color has been added. The available light is thereby intensified in the peep sight so that visibility is increased at low light levels. The peep sight has four notched corners for mounting the peep sight on the bowstring. When so mounted the strands of the bowstring do not obstruct the vision of the archer. Furthermore, the peep hole in the peep sight may be angled to increase the field of vision of the archer. A dark annular ledge is provided about the peep hole to further improve viewing definition through the peep sight. In a second embodiment, a source of energy, and a light source connected to the peep sight by a fiber optic cord also provides a peep sight for improved visibility for the archer.
