Title: Peep rotation weird
Post by: briancorneal on August 10, 2013, 07:55:42 PM: After about an hour of dinking around with my strings last night, my peep still didn't rotate the way I wanted to. Weird thing is today, I picked up my bow, adjusted my d-loop so it was facing out (opposite the direction of arrow) and all of a sudden my peep (at rest) was facing the correct way. I really didn't do anything and my peep rotation worked itself out. Thank you baby jesus!

I do know u need to "train" the string by doing just what u did- starting the nock loop to the side. Hope it stays put for you.

All it took me was a little fiddling to get the peep to always show the right way. I switched to a 2-groove RAD peep and 90% of sight issues went away.

The funny thing is that these are a pair of custom strings.

Is it a tubed peep? Get back to me, I may know a few ways you can fix it. and Radsav developed a piece of equipment that can fix that. I might have an extra one, Ill look later.

Its for the normal style peep sites, but what it does.. If you ever have a problem to where you cannot get your angular site to align properly, or say are on the field and are having problems to where you cant get the problem fixed and need it fixed asap. It just installs on over your normal angular site, and makes it a tube style peep. Therefor giving you the auto calibrating factor with the tube. I carry one in my backpack just incase.
