Default Using a tube peep sight

Does a peep sight that using an aligning tube really slow your string down that much, and if so, then about how much?

I am using one without right now but i don't really like it.

It will slow ya bow up about 15 to 20 fps.

Why not just ditch the peep completely?

Shoot with a consistant anchor and good form there is no need for a peep

I did away with my tubing. I shoot a string loop and found out how to serve the loop to the string. When I pull back the peep is there every time. Glad to be done with the rubber in the face routine.

I've gone back to the tubing after using the string loop to align the peep, I prefer that and I don't notice much difference in speed, especially at hunting distances.

Yeah, I have a birdcage peep now and hate it. One of the third sections of string is in the way everytime I pull pack. So I am switching to the peep tube sight. All my friends have it and it works great. We don't notice any loss of speed. Your bow does't have to be fast.

mossberg fan, it depends what ur draw weight is if it is at 80# it dosent matter if u have tubing or not . but if u are shooting 40-50 lbs u want to b as fast as possible. so 15-29 fps could mean clean kill or a wounded deer

I use to use one with the tube, then I switched to a fletcher( I think) worked great once I got it so it didn't turn. I recently took that of and now use a No-peep it works great and really let's you know when your form is off. I'm alot more consistant formwise since I started useing it ,so much so that I'm comfortable enough with my shooting that it may come off for next hunting season. No low light issues either.

I didn't like using the tube! it slowed down my bow that was already slow and I was alway's worried that the tube would brake in a bad time when that nice buck or bull was standing right there in front of me.
