Hmmm... It's the same as fitting a regular peep. (Which I just described here: http://www.huntingnet.com/forum/tm.aspx?m=2615303) The tubing gets cut to a length so that there is very little tension on it; cut it to the same length as the distance from the peep to the cable at full draw and then tie a hitch in the tubing to the cable and you should have enough tension to get it to rotate the peep, the less tension on it the better.

Oh, I remember those pads alright. I liked them almost as much as I like rubber tubes.[:'(]

If you MUST use a rubber tube, youshould twist the string so the peep will be aligned properly without the tube. That way you can have the minimal tension that KodiakArcher's talking about. That tube is only for insurance, not to make up for an inept peep installation - which is unfortunately what most peoplewant to use them for.

Wise words here. it would be much better just to put some quality strings on your bow or buy one from a manufacturer who thinks enough of its customer to include good strings with its bow.

I rather like tubed peeps, because as string stretch, even a little bit, I still have a clear site picture. I won't say I shoot a lot, because I've probably only put a few hundred shots on my bows since the first of the year, but once weather gets nice, I will tend to put in a couple hundred shots a day, and I've only had a few types of strings, Winner's Choice, Fuse, Dyna-flight, and Zebra, but they've ALL stretched and twisted a little.
