Physically speaking, animals of sizes comparable to human beings are stronger and faster than human beings. Within the primate family alone, every type of primate even close to the size of a human being physically outclasses humankind so much that no person, not even one a steady diet of anabolic steroids and weightlifting, can hope to catch up. But gorillas and chimps and bonobos are not the dominant species of the planet. Homo sapiens rule the planet, and is the only one of the great ape species to be able to do so. Humans are the dominant species for a reason and that reason is better developed brains which allow for much higher levels of abstract thinking and problem solving, allowing humans to create tools that the other species can only barely learn how to recognize as tools let alone use. Among those tools are the bow and arrow, and innovations to that apparatus includes the archery peep sight.

Optics are any attachment on a weapon that make aiming easier. They are generally used to help center a projectile around a target area. Because human eyesight can be so limited, optics are necessary in certain situations.

Using aftermarket optics offers a tactical advantage. The right scopes can help a person hit a target from a distance. A night vision scopes offers much needed assistance in low light situations.

Most modern weapons, guns and compound bows, will come with a rail of some sort. As such, most scopes and sights can simply be fitted on to most weapons. In fact, a lot of different gadgets can be equipped on the rails.

Sporting goods stores are great places to get weapon accessories and sometimes even the weapons themselves. Of course, like anything else, accessories can be ordered online. Private sellers can also sell at conventions.

A lot of people take archery as hobby. As an activity, it requires a great deal of concentration and with sufficient practice, an archer can wash out the entire world save for the arrow and target. It also provides a good deal of exercise, since drawing the string can strain the arm and thus needs a good bit of upper body strength.

Before guns and artillery, archers were the long distance killers on the battlefield. In Europe, archers were used to shower oncoming enemies with arrows, killing or incapacitating huge numbers of enemy infantry. Archers were the snipers and the fighter jets of their day.

Fiction however does not always reflect reality. Either through censorship or political beliefs, many writers are hesitant to have characters use guns. Sometimes is a stylistic choice, guns do not stand out and no gunslinger worth their salt would ever use a weapon that stood out. But a bow and arrow does stand out onscreen.

Using a peep sight makes aiming easier. With tools man, was able to conquer the planet. The further development of those tools allowed man to conquer other men.
