Question for you all. Put on new set of strings/cables, anyone have an idea how to get the peep rotation out or what is causing it. I need to set it like this shown in press for it to pull straight back and even then it may or may not be perfectly square to eye. This is getting frustrating. Thanks for feedback.

It kind of looks like you may have served the triangles to close to the peep, but its hard to see from the picture. Also, how many arrows do you have thru the new set of strings. I try to get around 50 or so to let strings settle before putting in my peep. Have you tried twisting the bottom of the string a half a turn and re-check?

It sure does.

If the peep is tied in, you really don't need to serve above/below the peep. It won't fall out even with a dry fire shot. Crowding the peep also places unnecessary shear force on the string.

As String Bender suggests, a couple dozen shots will likely settle the string, then putting a turn in the string to rotate the peep should cure the problem.

First off it doesn't matter if it is straight or even a quarter off at static. The ONLY place it matters is at full draw. If it is still even very slightly off align the DLoop to the peep. Your peep isn't really that far off.

Thanks for feedback. Apparently I didn't realize I could tie a peep in too tight. I just don't want to accidently bump it up or down.

Following as I have the exact same with a brand new set of strings on my CP30

I wrapped the peep only this time. And now aligned.

That looks good. I've tried a bunch of different ways and have settled on the most simple so it is super easy to make changes. I don't like having the triangles served and squeezing the peep.
This is how I've started doing it on my bow and my kids bows with one constrictor knot and 2 half hitches on each side (top and bottom). Very solid peep.

Nice work!

That's the big lesson I learned last year. I've been tying the triangles at the top and bottom for years, and it always leads to peep twist. Doing a really good knot and leaving the triangles open is way better. Here's a video of a guy in Utah, dark archer, who does excellent work. I was tying my peep sights using the Bomar/ Tim Gillingham method, but there's so many knots it makes it really hard to adjust. Dark archer's system is super strong, and easy to get off if you need to change things

A good thing.
FWIW, I can't recall a peep tied in securely, move, at all with normal use. You can move it, but under tension, I have damaged a couple strings making peep adjustments that way. It's best to put it in the press to tweak position. At the cost of rigging these days, it pays to be careful.

I shoot for a full year with out tie the peep at all and it never moved , when setting up I shoot about 10-15 times with out tie in just to get it settled then tie in,

 

[Matt G]

I have shot the once before with out wrapping the peep and I never found it again. You are asking for trouble without some type knot holding in string.

I went away from a peep with my new bow. I could kill a deer out to 40 going peepless, but I'm not as accurate as I could be. I'm going back to a peep very soon. I like the open field of view, but I noticed I'm not as consistent as I should be. I also need to work on my form too. I'm just a hot mess, in short.

Thanks for the pics and videos, all. Will help me when I tie mine in.

This is my peep and how I tie them in. A back serve on two legs but also held in at all 4 corners they way I run the thread. it will never move but can be cut out real easy for any adjustment.

 

[want-it-2]

Already great comments on solutions, trying in after string has settled, not serving above and below, but I would just emphasize as someone else mentioned you can use the d-loop to help and/or add partial twist(s).

 

[Gator88]

All my peeps are off an eighth turn at static and they pull straight at full draw. If your a fuzz off at full draw cut they serving out of your peep and scoop a
Peep tuner or a piece of paracord in there. Move it up and down in the string to get it exactly, and darn close to exactly where you want it. Nice looking bow too buddy! I got the same press!

That’s pretty cool dude I’m gonna try that. Is there a video tutorial on that tie in? I tie my peeps in tighter than a ticks ***. But it’s never gave me any problems that way. I’m open to new ideas tho!

Hi,
There are lots of posts on this forum with this problem. Some describe it really well.
1. No peep tie in untill U shoot at least 200 shots. Tie in the peep and start shooting. Then re-align the peep.
2. Your string has to be in good condition, eg. If the end points are served with twisted eye on it, your screwed no matter what.
3. I try to avoid rotation correction using d loop. This depends how you pull string during shooting, wide rounds pulls will rotate d loop/peep. I'm using soft d loop material to help with that as well.
4. D loop tie in has to be opposite sides or it will pull to one side
5. I use draw board to check peep alignment
6. I started to use peep adjustment (small plastic in string above peep), but I'm not satisfied with that.
7. Even small peep misalignment per shot basis will shift the arrow on horizontal plane. It is vital to keep it straight as close as possible(target shooting 10s vs Xs).
Mind you, I customised my sight housing to fit my peep size precisely.

I write all of this as I threw away new aftermarket string recently. My peep rotation was ~20deg on shot basis. This threw my score down the drain, and heaps of fustration.
