I just bought my fist bow.I was wondering what you all use.peep or tubing?Pros and cons of both.I am thinking peep because it looks like i would be able to see little better.any info would be great
-
peep, although it can take a little more effort to get lined up. It is worth it. faster and less noise
-
:tup:

peep
-
Yes peep. Tube kills string speed, and with a peep a little less more junk to be hanging in the way.
-
I just replaced my tube with a G5 peep, mainly for the hole diameter and speed. I gained 3fps. I've always liked the tubes though.
-
peep is the way to go but it has nothing to do with speed.. 3fps! that will change NOTHING.... its one less thing to go wrong out there.... that stuff cracks, comes off, and even if you have replacement with you, you might not have time to time a new one on and be ready.......
-
Actually, it will change it about 2 to 4 fps depending of bow and type of tubing. Add that to other things such as string silencers and nocks and it starts to add up.

:yeah:

it really helps to have a top-notch string when going w/o the tubing . . . can take a little time to dial in, compared to just slapping on a tube, but it is a good application of the K.I.S.S. principle while actually out in the field, etc.
-
Maybe my understanding or my terminology is all messed up. What do you mean by peep sight or tubing? In the application of my peep sight, it uses tubing. Is the question really peep sight w/ tubing vs. peep sight without tubing?
-
Use the rubber tubbing. I might get a shot at the bull that gets away from you when you draw back and you rubber is broken and you can't take the shot. :bash: :bash: :chuckle: :chuckle:
Peep for sure, no rubber
-
Upgrade your your string to winners choice if you go with a peep or some other custom string that won't stretch. If you don't want to upgrade your string I would go with the tubing. The strings that come with most bows from the factory suck and will eventually stretch out and you will not get good consistent peep alignment without that tubing.
-
Peep only. Like they said it takes the right string or its a pain. You still have to twist the string before each shot to train it to stay straight. No tubing. Mike
-
With a stock string you dont need to twist it everytime, you need to put twists in the string depending on what way it is turning.... that requires a bow press.. any pro shop should be able to help you with that, and I always change out stock strings/cables for the custom ones we build.. should be done every year- 2 years
-
Shoot a peep and if it turns on you just shoot the bull anyway. I did and it was a 5x7.
-
Never had a tube break as long as it was replaced with a new one the week before season. Never had one pull off while hunting. Never had a peep that I couldn't see thru as long as tube was attached. Have had a un-tubed peep not line up at the moment of truth (300 class 5x5) despite lining up every time for 500+ shots prior, I will never, ever not have a tube attached to my peep. 25+ years of hunting and despite my use of custom strings exclusively, you will never see my bow without a tube attached to the peep.
-
I got rid of the noisy tubing, don't use a D-loop to keep my string from twisting, and went with a "no-peep" alignment aid. I love it, I draw, reference the no peep, then take the shot. It was a bit hard to get it set up but I really like it as I can draw, line up my sights and then take a quick glance to make sure I am in correct position. I left my peep in while setting up the no-peep so I could get it set close to where I was normally shooting.
-
Although I understand the purpose a peep serves, I've never had a bow setup with any type of peep on it. Seems like the thing to do though.
