How do you use peep sight tubing? Thanks for the great video!

[rldel149]

@snipingfox - Background there are several types of peeps right? Split-string & a version that does the same thing using 3-strand groups. It solves the problem of peep rotation that the split-string peeps do but have the problem that ocasionally one strand group ends up dead-center of the peep's field of view.

To use peep tubing a special split-string peep that has a post is required. The tubing slides onto the post. The other end is tied/clamped to a cable. Drawing the bow auto-aligns the peep

@snipingfox - peep-tubing answer part two... Downside: using the tubing adds mass to the string and slows the bow. The flopping of the tubing rubs the string & can cause wear/fuzz (keep string waxed). And... coming untied & pulling off the post are common problems. If it pops off, it won't shoot right even once.

Upside-it always lines up the peep. W/a 3-group split-what do you do if a wall-hanger comes & just that once a bundle lays over the pins? What do you do w/a split-string w/string twist?

Great video, well explained, and it's good to witness the existence of someone else who understands the concept of "horses for courses"! :)

@DavidPartay - for me, this was about helping people do their best whatever that may be. Same kit either way, it is all in how you look at it (double entente intended (-: )

@MapleHue Then don't shoot a bow, of course the second option is to learn how to shoot a bow correctly, your choice. I would say on a side note, the use of the caps lock and your inability to spell or use correct grammar makes you appear to be an idiot or a twelve year old..

Great video.  Thanks.

@jan1035 Maybe :L I was really mad.

[jan1035]

@MapleHue maybe you need therapy, or doesn't that work either?

[MapleHue]

@clancysdaddy I completely understand your comment. However, I do not agree with one thing: saying my grammar is not correct. It's correct, I was just too mad to bother using commas, and periods, and such. I had just been outside, using my new bow, not figuring out how to use the sight. Then the string hits my arm when I try something different, and yeah.. I was really mad that day. I might take courses in bow shooting, actually. If you are not an idiot, you would understand that humans get mad.

@rldel149 Thanks for the answer! But im just wondering how the tube helps for alignment, i use a standard peep and was thinging abot trying a tubed peep, but im not sure

@MapleHue - if a (rear) peep sight is used it has to be set for you so your anchor point is right. If the arrows are to light/spined wrong then it doesn't matter how you aim, arrows go wrong. Additionally, te nock on the string, the arrow rest, the bow could be out of tune. The bow has to be perfectly vertical everytime.

The thing is, there are a thousand things that can be wrong. But this method of sighting works. Find somebody local to help you set up your bow.
