Default Need a new peep and suggestions?

Iam a 32 inch bow this year and having problems seeing through my peep. I am not sure what peep I have on there now but it is just a round peep with my string split 3 ways. My string seems to be in the way most of my shots. Iam getting a new peep but want to avoid anything with tubing attached, you guys and gals have nay suggestions?

I shoot a red dot scope that dosen't require a peep but on my old bow before I lent it to my nephew had a peep that I loved. It was square and called a light gathering peep as I recall. It was green on the front side and black on the back where you look through. I liked it because I found two problems with the traditional peeps. One was it was hard to see/locate after the draw in low light level conditions. Two the require two many parts ie the string to anchor and orient it when in full draw. The string can fail and 100% of the time will be during a hunting shot.

You may also want to for go the peep and just use the kisser. That's what my freinds use for basically the same reasons.

A lot of people have problems with the peeps that split your string 3 ways, most throw those peeps in the trash, get yourself a fletcher peep and problem solved, my uncle uses it and has no problems, hope this helps!!

I agree with most here...get the Fletcher Tru Peep Super Hunter (3/16")!! I love mine. On my Mathews LX with the Zebra String I just needed to put it in the vise and twist the string a half turn to get the peep to line up with every draw...no more tubes!! Fletcher Tru-Peeps are great products.

I shot a red hawk peep and love it. It is clear, surronded by yellow. You can still see through the yellow which is great for hunting, you can see the whole animal. It does have tubing attached but, buy some on the new non rotting tubing and you don't have to worry about it. Just a suggestion.
