As long as your confident you can see through it to make a kill shot, then good enough is good enough.Rear sight - Sight Sight (st), n. Lastly, your peep doesn’t have to align perfectly. A new peep could solve the problem but also might create other issues. If it becomes a pain and you find yourself twisting the knots before every shot, take the bow into your local shop and have them twist your string or separate strands. Most of the time a little work with the D-loop will solve the problem. Start out with no tubing, and if you can’t seem to fix the issues, attach tubing as a last resort. I had one on a Quest a few years ago and had as many issues with the tubing as I did with rotation. I’ve heard customers say, “I don’t want to take any chances with peep rotation,” when explaining why they use such a peep. Also, the tubing can affect the speed of the bow and create torque on the string. The tubing will wear out over time and pulls on the peep in an upwards direction, often causing the peep to creep higher. These products don’t provide a perfect solution.

The tubing pulls on the opposite side of the peep to line it up at full draw. Several companies make a peep sight with tubing attached, which ties to the buss cable by a piece of surgical tubing. This will become a bit of a guess and check game. Try moving a couple strands from each side to the other, maintaining the same number on both sides of the peep. Most archers separate strands according to color, which isn’t necessary. When twisting your strings doesn’t work try removing the peep and splitting the string with a different set of strands on each side. If you need to get your peep to rotate left consider adding twists (until the peep sits completely backwards) then taking your peep out and flipping it completely around. I prefer to add twists to strings and cables because taking twists out can cause the serving to loosen. Adding twists to the top end will have a greater impact on the peep than twisting the sting on the bottom cam. You may still need to adjust your D-loop slightly afterwards.įor those that own a bow press, add a half twist at a time in the direction you need your peep to rotate. If your string reaches the point where the D-loop sits sideways or backwards, take the bow back into a shop and have them add a couple twists to your string. But, I’ve also heard horror stories of coming to full draw on a bull with a sideways peep.

I mention it because I have seen hunters that do it, so it must work for some people. However, consistently twisting the same amount, especially in high pressure situations, will present challenges. You can also directly twist the peep each time before you draw back. This will create a bit of torque on the string and the knots will eventually creep back to where they were before, but for a quick fix without a bow press, its a good option. If the peep has turned slightly right, rotate the D-loop to the left (Bottom photo). If your peep is rotated to the left, hold the serving and push the D-loop knots to the right (Top photo). Here are a few options for addressing peep rotation.įor a peep sight only slightly out of line a hunter can get away with rotating the D-loop in the opposite direction. Archers will notice a smaller sight picture, that appears elliptical. In the first few hundred shots the strings on a bow slowly stretch and settle. S tring stretch creates one of the most common issues for beginners: peep rotation.
