So will the string stretch at some point or no? (Making the peep rotate) and if it does what do I do with it then?

I took the time to do this one right knowing you have limited access to shops where you are at.  So floating yoke, power cable, control cable and string have all been pre-stretched @300# for at least one hour each before serving was applied. Then serving was applied while at the same 300#. The same I would do on all my own strings.  If that peep did not move in the first 50 shots I expect it will not move ever.  But there is always a chance something could give :dunno:  If that happens a good pro shop can make the adjustments. 
Cool man. Thank you.

My first archery harvest was a small blacktail spike.  Packed that guy three miles on my back to reach the gate and my nervously waiting father.  By the time I got him there he was HUGE!  And in my mind the best tasting deer ever!  Big bucks are exciting.  But that first bow kill regardless of trophy status is pretty dang hard to beat.
He asked, Do you ever give a short simple answer?  I replied, "Nope."

Was very nice to meet you RadSav, ... Oh and your wife is spunky lol, she's cool I liked her.

Feeling was mutual.

If the purchase of the neighbors house ever goes through we can reclaim our house from the ever expanding business stuff.  When that happens we will need to have you two down here for some wild critter bbq.  If you couldn't tell by my size I'm a pretty good cook ;)  I bake some pretty good pie too :drool:

No, put my back out last night taking out the trash.  I expect to get it out tomorrow along with my new Bowtech Experience.  Need to sight it in for the bear hunt since I sent both my Motive 7 and Anarchy off to Del for his gator hunt.  They seemed to get the job done too!  Here is a picture of the 10'/450# gator he took with my Anarchy this evening in Florida.

Jeesh man be careful, take care of yourself. We like ya around here.
Thats an awesome kill, and with a bow? Crazy, hopefully ill be able to tag some cool things as my years advance. I imagine Ill have to re-sight mine in to right since theres a new string? Goodluck on your bear hunt! Get that record breaker.

I don't imagine there will be much sighting in to be done with the new string.  I did move the rest a little (1/16") to the left and the nock set up a little (also 1/16").  But if you gang adjust the sight at 20 yards all the rest should fall right back into place.  I'm shooting your bow at 7 yards using the 30 yard pin.  Impact is 1" high and 3/8" left of the spot.  Not sure where your 30 pin crosses at close distance. :dunno:  But my bows all do it at 7 yards.  So you should be very close.

I did change your D-Loop configuration a little as well.  Kept the longer length as you requested.  But I adjusted the way it is located so the release sits directly behind the arrow nock.  That could potentially change things more than the adjustments to the rest or nockset.  You should still be close though!
