Peep rotation weird
« 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!

Exactly why i shoot the peep with surgical tubing. Always turned the right way. Have had buddies draw on animals and peep was turned sideways. 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.

What happens when the rubber brakes :yike:.  I can adjust my peep at full draw if not right.

The reason I refused to try rubber is because those things break and I picture drawing on a pig Roosie 5x5 and SNAP!   :'(

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.
Kindly do not attempt to cloud the issue with too many facts.

I do not shoot with a peep any more.  Too much crap and I can shoot just as well with out it if I keep my practice up.

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.
