Then I am guilty of doing when my string is new and not settled.:embara:
You take and turn the bow string a few times .While not letting it unwind.You push your bow hand foward.While pulling with the hand thats holding the bow string.And do it in a pumping motion.To make your peep come straight.[Later
I haven't had to do that for a long time .Since i buy better made strings.really, my peeps don't rotate when I draw but I don't need to do that?

I make my strings and cables with 452X BCY and once settled my peeps don't rotate.this pumping thing is OLD school.

I am guilty of that too, more so when I used to shoot solo cam bows.You take and turn the bow string a few times .While not letting it unwind.You push your bow hand foward.While pulling with the hand thats holding the bow string.And do it in a pumping motion.To make your peep come straight.[Later
