Why doesn't my peep line up with my scope?

Usually the peep is at the wrong height, it rotates at full draw, or your anchor or head position has changed. Draw to your natural anchor without moving your head to find the peep: if the scope sits high or low in it, move the peep; if it is turned, add or remove a string twist.

Should I move my head to find the peep?

No. The peep should come to your eye at your natural anchor and head position. If you have to raise or lower your head to look through it, move the peep up or down the string instead, so your form stays the same and the peep fits it.

Peep alignment is lining up the peep sight in a compound's string with the sight housing or scope at full draw, so the housing sits centred in the peep every shot. It depends on peep height, rotation and a consistent anchor; when it is off, the eye looks along a different line and impacts move with the pin on target.

Check alignment at your natural anchor, not by moving your head to find the peep. Draw, settle into your anchor with your head in its normal position, and look: the sight housing or scope ring should sit centred inside the peep. If it sits high or low, the peep needs to move up or down the string; the anchor should not change to suit the peep.

Rotation is the other half. A peep that turns partly sideways at full draw narrows the view and moves the eye's line. On a new string this is common while it settles, and it is fixed by adding or removing a twist in the string, then checking again after more shots.

Good alignment also depends on a matched sight picture. Many archers choose a peep size and a housing or scope ring so that the ring fits just inside the peep at their eye distance, which makes centring quick to judge. A kisser button or a nose touch on the string can act as a second reference to confirm the anchor.

Under World Archery target rules, peeps belong to the compound division: a compound string may carry a peephole, while recurve and barebow strings may carry nothing that helps aim. Other federations set their own equipment rules. Because the peep sets the rear of the aiming line, any change to its height, rotation or aperture can move your sight marks, so re-check them after an adjustment.
