what peep and why

[calib]

i am getting my new attack soon and wondering what peep you guys use. i like the peep that has the rubber hose attached because it is not ever miss aligned, but was wondering what other options there are and what the benefits of one with out the hose would be.

I hate those things myself, LOTS of guys use them though.  I don't like them because in my opinion they are noisy and the thought of the rubber band breaking and slapping my eye    I use the extra large peeps that no matter which way the sting turns you can see though them.  They best one I have ever used was square with four string notches in the corners and a large hole in the middle.  I'll have to see if I can find the product name.

have you ever shot on the range with it moving at all  and tested to check accuracy? i would thing on medium to longer range(35-50) there would be lots of room for error like that

[Machias]

It can move however it wants, it's never blocked by the sting, since the string is spread out to four contact poins instead of one thick one.  I don't shoot past 40....EVER, and it's plenty accurate enough for the bullseye out to 40.

P.S.  Whatever peep you decide to go with, go with the biggest hole you can get, in low light conditions you'll thank me!!

I use a 5/16" g5 meta peep. I used to use a peep with tubing but hated the fact the tubing would sometimes break.

The issue really always come down to string quality.
If you have a good string you can use a standard style peep  (1/4" is usually best) and it will always be aligned and you wont have any issues.
With a stock string you are going to have some excessive stretch in which case you will need some sort of a allignment tool.
I would reccomend putting a quality string on your new bow right from the start. If that is not a option for you then I would use a alligner for the first few months and hopefully after that the string will stop stretching and you can use a standard peep with no issues.

String Splitter Micro for me.

I just picked up a Red Eye Peep, haven't put it in yet but have had good things about them. I have a G5 also and it is good also. I don't like the ones with a tube, breaking always was a fear and I thought the one I had when I first bought my bow was to loud.

i have seen those string splitters   how do those work you look through the hole or the gap below that?

Don't rule out the RAD Peeps.  They're as good as any and made here in WA by a fellow bowhunter.  If you ever hunt Winston Creek, then you'll run into him there.

You look through the triangular gap below.  It is more like a half of a peep.  You set it so that you frame the top of your sight housing with the SS.  I love it.  When I shoot a bow with a normal peep now it is really strange for me.  With the SS there is no issue with not having enough light.

i would probably still have to either get a new string or stretch the factory string a bit before the splitter quit moving like other peeps rite?

[Lowedog]

I have never had a problem with it and have used it on 3 different bows now.  I never replace strings on a new bow till they need it. 

What I do is shoot a new bow (or new string) 50-100 times before installing a peep.  Lets the string settle in.
