redkneck Posted September 24, 2009 Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 For those that shoot peeps without the tubing, do you have problems with them getting twisted when you shoot? I had one put on last year, and wanted to go back to a tether, but the guy misunderstood what I was asking for. It shot great last year, but this year I'm having to try to train the string by twisting it good before I shoot. Too many times I'm at full draw and the string has twisted so that the peep rotated and the strands are covering my target. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clap33 Posted September 24, 2009 Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 I have the same problem and it drives me nuts. I have to readjust my peep after every shot. Even though season opens on saturday I am taking it to the proshop and having a peep with the tubing put on. That sould eliminate the problem. Cant take the chance of it not being right when the big one walks by!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rem308 Posted September 24, 2009 Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 It shouldn't be doing this...I use a meta peep, has the tilt so at full draw it's lined up nicely, and it doesn't shift or twist...when I had my bow tuned up, the pro shop worked on this quite a bit. When completed, they even will serve it in to keep it from moving. I suppose after a bow string stretches from a lot of shooting you may need to get it adjusted again. I have noticed that when not pulled back, my peep has about 25% turn, but when you draw it straightens right out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Kid Posted September 24, 2009 Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 had the same problem thats why i went to one with a tube Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted September 24, 2009 Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 I just switched to a meta peep from a tubing peep not too long back, had some issues at first when I put the new string on my bow and had to change back over to the peep with the tubing, and just recently I switched back to the meta. Guess it took some shooting in, but now the string twists very little, when it does I just reposition my string loop for the right orientation of the meta peep.

GWSmith Posted September 24, 2009 Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 I never have a problem with the string twisting using this peep sight: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
okiedog Posted September 24, 2009 Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 There should be very little if any rotation in a quality string after the "shoot in" period. When I install a new string I shoot it anywhere from 50 to 100 shots before I ever install the peep. Check specs again, install peep and check at rest and full draw rotation. I will put or take out a 1/2 twist in the string to align the peep. Shoot it and forget. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdavis Posted September 24, 2009 Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 I've got the same problem; after I nock an arrow I have to twist it just a little in order to get it lined up right at full draw. I didn't like it a first but after getting use to it I now do it out of habit before every shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hunterwebb Posted September 25, 2009 Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 i don't use a peep i shoot a Bushnell holosight but i was at a indoor shoot the other night and this little boy was grabbing his peep with his mouth at full draw i thought that was a good idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do the same thing. FYI, I've had this issue off and on for a lot of years, and it's never stopped me from making a shot, though it is aggravating.

buckee Posted September 25, 2009 Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 I never have a problem with the string twisting using this peep sight: That's the one I use too Gary, but I had the same problem and used to have to give my string a slight twist after knocking my arrow every time, just to compensate. Then I put on one of these so I no longer have to check to see if the string is twisted right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arrow32 Posted September 25, 2009 Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 Sounds like my dag gone hoyts.LOL Thing I've found out with my peep twisting is string stretching. Put a couple twists in it check the time good to go won't have the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turkeygirl Posted September 25, 2009 Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 I've always used a peep with tubing, so never an issue....and the tubing from Pine Ridge...the silicone stuff...works very well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hutchies Posted September 25, 2009 Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 Guys if you shoot a d loop and your peep is twisting a little just move the loop opposite of the direction the peep needs to go. The loop will pull it around straight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The loop will pull it around straight. Yep, what we do with string loops here. Wife has been shooting a meta peep since I set her bow up for her. Have to readjust every once in a while, but really not very often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkneck Posted September 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 I think that's what I'm going to do, move the d-loop around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
backwoods07 Posted September 25, 2009 Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 I have this problem, and apparently so do a lot of people. It drives me absolutely insane. I drew on a deer last year and had to let off, twist my string, and draw again. I will not switch to tubing. I've seen too many friends have problems with the tubing breaking. I use the exact peep GW uses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
