If you’re bailing out of your peep at distance adjusting your peep will only be treating the symptom and not the disease.
Shorten your Dloop 1/16” of an inch
If you don’t have room to adjust your d loop then you’ll need to twist your string to shorten DL slightly.
Shorten the release length slightly if it’s a wrist strap.
Grip the release slightly deeper in your hand if it’s a handheld
The problem becomes worse when we run out of room to expand properly through the shot. You begin to run out of leverage at Distance, which is also seen at angled shots.
IMHO peep height position is a function of face geometry and the most commonly anticipated shot. Shooting and practicing distance is fun with your buddies but will ultimately create more bad habits than anything if you don’t know what you’re doing to yourself.
When we over expand too early in the shot process our body begins to cheat and starts changing joint angles to compensate. Release side elbow drops and begins to wrap behind the shooters head, bow arm extends, hips shift forward, head tilts rearward. Body starts to use too much muscle and we make a shitty shot.
The only joints we have available when shooting a bow that can expand in a linear function are our fingers when shooting a handheld
If shooting a wrist strap, the strap itself sliding about the wrist creates the required linear activation.
Short of it; you don’t have any leverage on your backside to execute properly before the face begins to move down and away from your peep.
