what peep and why

[Todd_ID]

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. 

Yep, me too.  At least with new strings anyway.  I've never had a new bow, always gotten used ones.  I'll put a peep in when I put the new string on knowing that I'll have to adjust the string once it gets shot for a while.  I don't put any stock into my tuning efforts until after a month or so of shooting.  I just get it close enough to be happy with how it's shooting and shoot for a while then get serious about tuning and peep rotation.

this is my second bow but first new one. i figured if i was gonna buy one new it had better be decent and last me a while so i will see for my self what will happen with the new string. thanks for everything guys.

i use the smallest g5 peep they make. mainly helps me focus more, take my time, and personally more accurate than using a larger peep. i also dont like them wth that rubber hooked on em. bout ready to take a shot n the rubber breaks or slides off.  nvr again

I have used a peep with the rubber tubing up until this year.  The first and only time I had the tubing break I was at full draw and it gave me a shot to the face that I was not expecting.  I tapped my release when this happened and nearly missed the target.  From that point on I decided that I would never use one again.  If that shot would have been on an animal I would have been very displeased with myself.  

I now use the G5 Meta but, not sure on the size.  I have the stock string on my Martin Firecat TR2 and have no issues to date.

One suggestion if you do use the rubber tube style peep.  Go to the hardware store and get real surgical tubing and make sure you aren't using to short of a length.  The surgical tubing is more resilient and much less likely to break under tension.

The only problem using a small peep is low light conditions, if you use one just for target practice, smaller is better, but early morning and late evening, you will regret a small peep sight.

I use a G-5 peep. when I draw back I line the outer ring of my sight with the outer ring of the peep. hold to what ever pin I need. It works great. the bigger the better. I can see good in low light. I dont center the pin in the center of the peep. Not as accurate for me.

If you have a consistent anchor the only thing you need the peep for is to see through your string. Just as I come to full draw I close my eyes and anchor where it FEELS right, when I open my eyes I don't have to do any lining up the peep/sight ring prior to shooting.

I use the 1/4" G5 Meta.

[stormin85]

G5 Meta peep, 1/4", good for low light yet still small enough for good accuracy.

G5 meta.  was having a problem with 90 degree rotation.  didn't want to mess with strings & cables due to cam timing on 09 Martin Moab, so i put one of those G5 speed studs in.  peep is perfect every shot now.  no tube!

[Dadbear]

Large peep for low light. Then practice.

I for some reason have a hard time with the blue G 5 peeps I prefer black.  I seem to see a blue haze with them
