replacing peep site rubber tube

[f3cbboy]

Hi - Can i get this rubber at any outdoor store that deals with archery and just cut a piece to replace the existing one with a new one?

Do I need to take anything in particular for consideration?  I'm thinking that all i have to do is get a piece of tubing very close to the size (length) that is there and just change it out.  Am I missing anything?  Thanks

Most archery supply stores stock that item; simply cut the same length and replace.

I replace mine often as the rubber tube breaks down in time and I had one snap at the range last year and "twig" me in eye.

Better yet, have the archery shop adjust the peep and you won't need it, assuming your strings are decent.

When I used one of those , I had to go to a small bow shop to buy one as the Big Box stores didn't carry the tubing . They sell it by the foot and you can expect to get ripped off for cost . I got rid of mine as I could hear the tube noise when I shot and you can expect the tubing to break at the worst time . Just an opinion .

dicks had it a few years ago. i ditched the tube peep on my new bow 3 years ago and am very happy i did.

Op you're getting good advice but id not change anything now. Wait a month when it's all over

thanks everyone for the replies.  I will wait and switch to a peep that does not require a tube.

It's a different peep site, you don't use the same one correct? or as the above said you just get the original tube site adjusted by the shop

What I do is go to Walmart and buy for $5 the Allen peep tube kit. Just use the tube from that.

I have tried silicone tubing specially sold for this purpose on Amazon and I have to say it is absolute crap. Stick with the standard stuff all the kits come with (latex?).

There is no reason you can't use the same peep without a tube really although they cannot be served in quite as well.

Most people say to not use peep tubes but they do a damn fine job even if there is some risk of it snagging or snapping. Maybe one day I finally make the switch but I keep going back to one. Also pete shepley the founder of PSE bows still recommends them

I went from a tube peep to an alum peep, a lot more work to get it right, but I enjoy it a lot more than my tube one.

To each their own I guess.
