This is one of the reasons I love being able to work on my own bows. I ditched the tube a while back.

With a broken in string, you can set the peep in there so it's always straight at draw by swapping the strands until it's straight. A tubeless bow is a quieter bow and you don't have all the worries about the tube wearing out, breaking, pulling off, etc.

If you are hunting with the bow, change the rubber every year. You do not want it to break and pop you in the eye when you are drawn back on some deer.

I ditched rubbers years ago. Seriously, if you spend a little time with the string and peep sight you can use one without the rubber band and will never have any problems. most of the time I can get the string balanced enough to never have to touch the peep. The worst I've had was on one setup I had to turn the peep by hand and it would stay in place until I shot, then I'd have to realign it before the next shot. This seems like alot of messing around, but after a few times it becomes second nature and you do it without realizing it.
