Winner's Choice Strings Pro Shooter Nathan Brooks talks about the importance of the peep sight and how to fix peep sight rotation to get a consistently accurate shot.
I separate the string half way between the peep and the top cam and around one strand I tie about 8 over-under knots so I have a ball of thread I can grip with my fingers. You can slide it up or down and it will finely adjust the peep. I like this because if the peep ever starts turning, it’s really easy to fix.
I used to do that, but there is a slight issue with doing that. When you move 2 strands or 3 or whatever from one side to the other, unless you have 2 sets of hands to keep track of which strands you’re moving because they will mix with the other side you’re moving them to and vise versa. Also you stand the chance of breaking strands no matter how good those said strings are.
I used to use really cheap bowstring and nothing fixed the rotation. Even if it looked straight, it would be turned at full draw. Ever since I started using high quality bowstring, I haven’t have problems since.
Interesting,. I have a peep that is just slightly over-rotating to the left, so twisting or untwisting the string would be too much of a correction. Going to give this one a try tonight. Thanks !!
My factory elite strings were not great they where ok but still had peep rotation about a 1/8-1/4 turn as drawing. Winners choice after market may be better
What happens if the strand method moves it further than needed? . My peep is ever so slightly left that moving one strand tweeked it slight right. Ive been using the dloop tweek method but id just like for it to be perfect without. Lol threads have maybe 500 shots on them so they are still like new. 😁
Just slide the peep slightly up or down until it is facing straight back at full draw. The peep will follow the way the string twists. I tried the silencer method and it seemed like the peep settled back after a few shots. Moving strands to either side didn't work very well for me either.
How does moving even amount of strands in opposite directions solve anything? You still end up with the same amount on both sides The strands you pull over the front twist it back and then the ones you pull around the back turn it right back to where it was.
I would say it’s because of the twist of the strands. And the way they are bunched then split in half. This seems like a good way to micro tune that twist.
