Abstract
A peep sight for an archery bow. The peep sight can define a peep aperture bounded by a curvilinear bulge optionally constructed from magnesium or a magnesium alloy. The peep sight bulge can circumferentiate the peep aperture, and can form an apex about midway between a forward surface and a rearward surface of the peep sight. The peep sight can define a serving slot and two or more angled bowstring strand slots for receiving portions of the bowstring strands to mount the peep sight to a bowstring. The peep sight can be blue in color. A method is provided including: machining a magnesium, magnesium alloy and/or other material blank into a peep body; and removing a portion of a peep body to define a peep aperture bound by a curvilinear bulge. Optionally, a strand slot and/or a serving slot can be machined into a surface of the body.
