rotorooter23 Posted September 12, 2014 Author Share Posted September 12, 2014 Bow...sorry I assumed Bow because i posted in the Bow hunting forum but didn't clearly state.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fasteddie Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 I have a 2 string peep on one bow and a 3 string peep on another bow . The tube peep makes a noise when shooting and breaks at the most inconvenient time . The 3 string peep has to be set just right or one of the strings can block your view . The 2 string peep is probably the way to go ......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rotorooter23 Posted September 12, 2014 Author Share Posted September 12, 2014 I have a 2 string peep now and have a absolute terrible time with the string twisting and not lining up when i draw back.. It is a brand new bow. I just assume get a tube to avoid the disaster of drawing and not being able to see my target. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't set the peep until you've burned through about 100 shots or so. Edited September 12, 2014 by phade 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phade, I have def. heard about this and weirdly I have through approx. 250 arrows through it, Not quite sure what to do as I really do not want to mess w a tube peep for noise, speed although i doubt it is much of a change.

phade Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 250 iant unheard of with cheaply made strings. Some main line bows have this issues. I remember the mainl line PSE having long shoot in periods. Id reset the peep now and if it rotates buy a quality made set like 60x and be done with it. Ive only ever had one bow with strings I kept from the factory. I replaced all others immediately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rotorooter23 Posted September 12, 2014 Author Share Posted September 12, 2014 gotcha, yeah its been a pain and that's the smartest thing to do at this point. Thanks! Of course its a brand new Mathews w the yokes in the string... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Culvercreek hunt club Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 (edited) Take it to a shop. They can put in in a press and twist the string and shouldn't change your point of aim or impact hardly at all. if you are crunched for time with the season coming. I use this peep and love it. I bought the set of apertures for it so I can screw out eh center and change the diameter as needed. I have switched to a very small one in the stand when the sun got low and very bright or my shot into the field. as soon as it tucked below the tree tops I was able to switch right back in seconds.http://www.lancasterarchery.com/specialty-1-4-large-non-hooded-peep-colors.html Edited September 12, 2014 by Culvercreek hunt club 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The PSE main line series bows I have had some string rotation and settling but only after a dozen shots. the peep won't be facing you at rest but when you draw back it'll rotate around consistently to the same spot I've found. good strings do help. even with cheaper strings of today I've had them work with a meta-peep style (string split in half). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chiefbkt Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 3/16" G5 Meta peep two strands. Get a good string on your bow and there's no need for a piece of rubber to align it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweet old bill Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 1/4 inch tru peep, once you get it set so it will turn the same , its there all the time. But most need to go to a bow shop, buy the peep and have it installed by using a bow press. best 25 bucks you will ever spend on your bow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Culvercreek hunt club Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 I've got an adjustable aperture peep but I don't change them in the field. what if you drop it? lol Five sizes plus the main housing itself. So I have a few chances I guess. Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbHunterNY Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Yea mine isn't fancier like a specialty super peep. I think it's a bone collector apex. Main housing with three inserts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
