Default Peep Rotation

I've been breaking in a new string this past month .I've been having issue's with my peep not rotating fully into position ,if I twist my wrist release it'll come close to position ,but not fully .I've tried a few different thing's like separating all the strand's and dividing them equally ,but it still won't rotate fully .Does anyone have any suggestion's for me ? What can I do to get the peep to rotate more .The string is broke in ,so this shouldn't be an issue .

well the next step after break in is to press the bow and twist the string to get the peep in the right position. After that, if it is a quality pre-stretched string it shouldn't turn on you, at least not much, for the life of the string.

Actually, that reply was a little hasty...........if a peep was 195 degrees off, I wouldn't twist the string to bring it back where I wanted it. I would pull the peep out, reseat it 180 degrees, then try to get the other 15 degrees out of it.

I agree with foulmouthfool's last comment. When I put my Winner's Choice on, my peep was close, but notwhere I wanted it. So I put it in a press and moved strands around the peep until I got it where I wanted it. Was able to go from a three strand peep to a two strand peep. It's in perfect position and hasn't moved a hair since.

I take it your not shooting with a string loop?

I get mine as close as possible and then use the string loop to finalize the perfect circle at full draw.

it can be tricky with a 3 color string like yours, that's for sure.

Yeah and just think, if he'd get the no-peep on and working he wouldn't have to be fighting it or ask this question!![&:][8D]
