Great new bow! But someone screwed up

[hughjorgan]

Broken tubing or a peep sight that decides to twist at the wrong moment. One thing I can guarantee is both will happen at the wrong time. Pick your poision

A custom pre stretched string, such as winners choice or vapor trail archery once the peep is set it isn't going to move. There is no need for tubing on a bow any more!

32 years of using a tubing peep all over Canada and USA with no breakage in the field.  Pre-hunt preperation means fresh broadhead blades and new tubing.  A little forethought and it is not an issue.  If tubing were to break your peep sight should still work.  If you do not have tubing and your string happens to stretch...could be problems.  It's a personal preference that's all.  One no better and no worse than the other.  Unless testing a new product I use an angled aluminum peep with a micro tube aligner.  Sometimes I have tubing on it sometimes I don't.  But the aligner is almost always there just in case.

This is why I like forums. We all have our own opinions an can express them here.

Better said than my post.

Yeah perhaps I should explain further. The reason he recommended I go with a tubed peep is because, with me being an archery newbie, if something were to go wrong in the field, I'd have a higher likelihood of fixing a tubed peep myself than a tubeless one. For example, if the tube breaks, I could retie it with some of the slack on the stationary side to jerry-rig it till I got back home.

I can see shooting tubing with a peep if you have an older bow, but not sure why you would have one on a newer bow since most manufacturers of bows are using a bcy type blend of string and pre stretching them which gives reliable peep rotation every time. I have never had string stretch on me that is made from bcy, once the peep is set it is not going to move, if it is going to stretch it will happen in the first few hundred shots.

Shoot Redding in the rain along with all the top shooters in the northwest.  You'll realize their is no absolute perfect string alignment every time.  That's a gathering of the best equipment you will see anywhere and there is plenty of string twisting and clever fixes.  Something you are not always afforded during a hunt.

I understand guys wanting to increase speed and keep noise to a minimum which can only be achieved with a non tubing peep.  But if a person prefers the added security of having a tube peep option it really doesn't matter how old or advanced the bow is.  It's all about personal preference.  If you are a good shooter and a good hunter either one should aide in success.

If one single peep was the end all answer on today's bows I could eliminate about 140 sku's from our line.  Instead we are planning to add another 56 to the line for 2014.  Seems there are experts everywhere telling us what the end all answer is.  And yet every answer seems to be different.

Pappy,
To answer your question, was your vault, manufactures fault or techs fault??
None of the above. It happens with peep sights that are premanufactured and plastic molded. A package gets made, is stored in a warehouse, shipped, put together and then put under pressure of shooting. It happens and we all end up getting new ones when it happens.

It is correct to say that either tubeless or a tubed one, work. To each his/her own. The person recommending that you have a tube because you are a new archer is correct in saying that a tubed sight is easier to replace in the field it the tube breaks but if the peep breaks with either one, it still takes a press to replace either of them, if you do it correctly.

Happy shooting and welcome to the best sport out there:-)
