Peeps

[HunterLuke]

What kind of peeps does everybody here have on their bow and how do you like them?

I have one with the band thing that attaches from my string to the cable part and pulls it into position when I draw back but I don't really like it. It shoots good but I'm having trouble keeping the band from dry rotting and tearing on the actual "peep" part.

I shoot 1/4" G5 Meta peeps in my bows for hunting and change to 1/8" G5's for 3D. The first bow I owned had the peep tubing on it and I hated it, just for the reason you listed above.

Tubeless peeps can be a pain sometimes. I have to train the bowstring to creep the peep into position. All depends on the quality of strings you buy. Tube style is pretty fail safe. Just remember, Murphy's Law is amplified when your alone in the woods.

Most people are shooting with the tubeless peeps anymore, on your PSE I would stay with your peep, unless you get a new string and cables. The free-float peep will twist all over and drive you nuts. There is a few companies making tubing out there that doesn't dry rot and crack, however. check out pine ridge, or go down to your local shop.

I don't use a peep. Get the anchor point down and you won't need it.

I use a free floating peep, and it works pretty good. I used to use one that had a tube attached to it, but like you said it kept rotting and breaking. Its pretty much a catch 22 there's usually a hassle either way. At the moment I have a zebra twist string and the peep lines up right every time.

I use a G5 Meta Peep. I haven't used rubber tubing in years & I never will again.

The guys at the bow shop put on a black circular one for me last season.:alien:

1/8 inch G5 Meta Peep. Those rubber hoses break, so watch out!

Certain tubeless peeps can be thats for sure and I think we've all seen that even on the TV shows we watch.

I use a tubeless peep that has 3 sections for the string to hold it in place. It rotates with the string and the hole is always visible. The few strands that may end up in front of your eye are so close that your eye cant focus on them and you end up being able to see without any problem.

It's a "Shurz-A-Peep"....BTW...it costs a whopping $3.50

I'll second this one ..

Ive used that same kind of peep for years now. I replace my rubber tube before each season and i carry an extra one in my backpack also. They like to catch branches when walking in or being pulled up a tree. I use to use one that seperated the string into thirds but i got tired of always having a blurred visin from the strings.

[GWSmith]

I'm suprised you had that happen Nickel. I waxed my entire string(including the 3 sets of strands on each side of the peep) and I've always shot with both eyes open maybe thats why.

Use the exact same size. Used to use a tube peep years back and will never switch back to it again. Tested out the claim of the up to 5 fps gain by G5 with their peeps. Needless to say it was true and my bow gained 3 fps. Not that it matters, but I thought I would check it out.

A good set of strings and keeping your bow in tune will keep those tubeless peeps from rotating. I am using a g5 meta as well. I have used the tubed peeps in the past, and though I never had problems with it, I will probably never go back to one as long as quality after-market strings are being made. If you do go with a tubed peep, my only advice would be to get a roll of tubing, and changed it at the beginning of every season, and if you shoot a lot during the season, maybe change it once during as well.
