Peep Rotation?

[Geronimo]

What's an easy way to get my peep to turn another quarter turn to be square ed to my eye and string?

Press the bow and twist the string so that the peep is positioned so it rotsates where you want it. Or move strands from one side to the other. The absolute best way is to get a good set of aftermarket strings that are built correctly and you should end up with NO peep rotation at all.

Peeps don't really rotate as we think of them. What is happening is the string is twisting. Most factory strings do not have enough twists in them to begin with. There should be about one complete twist for every 1 1/2" of string. You could add a lot of twists to the string which will help stabilizes the strands and make them all work together, but only if the string is long enough to do so.

The biggest downside to this is maybe you end up with an ATA that is too short, if the string is short, and the twisting tightens up the string bundle so serving might get loose. That's why good strings are prestretched, pretwisted, then served.

Try taking your fingers and rolling the bowstring a quarter turn as you bring it back all the way . Let it down "easy" and check out the sight picture . You might have to do this a couple times .
This has worked for me with my string peeps . It might not be the proper way to correct the problem but it works and it is a simple fix !

Peep Rotation?

yes, they do.
I hope you have a healthy sense of humor. [:@]

You could try a different kind of peepsight, I use a shurz-a-peep which I modified a little.
Instead of being held by three strands of my string I centered it between two even parts.
I'm thinking of making them myself because they work really well.
I'll try and take a pic and show you, there's already some in the "show your bow" post.

Shurz has made a "2x2" for a dozen years that is similar to what you are tallking about M9 -2 small strand bundles on each side of the peep. When I used to use a Shurz 10+ years ago, thats all I would buy.

I use the Shurz a Peep on two of my bows . I use the one that splits the string in thirds . At least once a year I use the "roll the string " method and that's it .........
