Has anyone had trouble with the peep sliding up or down. Its not loose but I can move it a little, when I'm waxing the string I guess I hit it and it moved. I pushed it back to where it was and shote the bow and I'm still on at 10, 20, & 30. I have the kind with the rubber hose tied to the string that straightens the peep out when you draw, I was just thinking will the peep move up a little when I draw,not to mention that the rubber hose breaks sometimes. Any suggestion's will be help full.

yep tie a "ten knot" or a short serving both above and below the peep. Also, and this depends on the type of peep you have (I used a Fletcher tru peep), some peeps have a groove that you tie a piece of serving around the peep and the string.
http://www.pabucks.com/peep_sight.html this is how I have tied mine for quite awhile and they do not move: http://www.fletcherarchery.com/howto_servepeep.pdf there are also a ton of vids on youtube, just search "tying a peep sight" If you can move your peep while waxing you string it is gonna move when you are shooting and lead to inconsistency. Also look at ditching the rubber tube peep and go with one that does not use a tube. U will gain speed, quiet your bow alittle and there has been stories of the tube breaking and injuring the shooters eye. Just a thought Hope this helps J- |
I used to use the peep that has the alignment tube connected to it, but twice now I've had morons draw back and dry fire my freaking bow  . This snaps the plastic piece off the peep that the tube goes onto. Now I have a non-tube type peep and I don't let anybody handle my bow unless they are going to actually shoot an arrow.  |

I have the blue G5 one but it bothers me because i always have to turn before i can shoot it. I have the same peep on my bow (mine is 1/4"). In the past, I'd always used the rubber tubing type, but wanted to get away from it. I like this peep so much better, but I do find myself adjusting its rotation now and then. I'm pretty close to having it "trained", as more times than not, it aligns correctly like it should. When I'm hunting, I just give the peep (and string) a half turn twist to the right just to make sure it aligns at full draw in a critical moment. I have 100% faith in it. |

Does your string rotate on you when you draw, or does it start out oriented wrong, and just stay there? |

I'm using a string loop, so there shouldn't be any pressure on the string that would force it to rotate. If my peep is perfectly centered rearward before I draw, it will be on the left side at full draw. |

If my peep is perfectly centered rearward before I draw, it will be on the left side at full draw. That's pretty common with a lot of factory strings on bows, it's actually really common. Whenever you replace your string, you might want to consider going with one that uses a 452x material. A lot of guys who sell no creep strings use this as their material of choice. Your rotation problem will no longer exist. Add Halo serving for an outstanding set of longlasting strings. If you have factory strings on your Bowtech now, they're 8125 material. They are often advertised as speed strings, but that's debateable. You can do more for your bow by having it tuned and timed than by switching using an 8125 material. |
