I'm new to posting, so we'll see how this go's. I was wondering what peoples opinion are regarding shooting peeps with or without rubber tubing. I have had a cybertec about a year. This was the first bow I ever used a peep sight on. I am currently using rubber tubing, but it seems like the only noise my bow makes is from the rubber tubing. I do not shoot a zebra twist string. If I go to a "no tubing peep" will I experience string twist etc?? Is it that much of a problem? How about with a zebra twist string?

you can and will most of the time experience twist ,even with a Zebra or a Winners Choice, but they twist less. Go to a loop type release aid on your string with a peer aligner andthe problem is solved, something like either of these.

Get a winners choice , or vapor trail , string and a fletcher true peep in the 3/16s inch size and you will gain speed , lose allot of noise [compared to the rubber band setup] and have an excelent sight picture , that will work in low light .

I've gone back to the tubing. I like a large apeture peep and I want it aligned perfect. I've had more problems in critical hunting situations with peep alignment when not using a tube. Either it doesn't align right or on the types that split the string three ways the string interferes with the sight picture. Maybe play with the length of the tubing, really shouldn't make much noise.

I've used both styles and currently have a C-Peep that aligns with tubing. To be honest these types of "opinion" questions are tough because everyone is going to have their own preference. In this case you might just want to go out and purchase a peep setup opposite of what you currently have. It isn't that much of an investment and you still have time to switch back to your original peep prior to season if you don't like the self aligning version.
Get rid of the peep sight and go with the NO-PEEP.It will extend your hunting time in low light conditions and will also show any torque or variations in your form--if used properly you will anchor the same on every shot.

My thoughts exactly. High quality aftermarket string + string loop + fletcher tru-peep= no problems
I've been shooting this kind of set-up exclusively for the past 4 years without an issue once the string was shot in (and depending on the string maker and length of string, sometimes they never creep at all from day one).

No - peep. If I remember correctly, is that device that attaches to the riser and serves as a "rear sight" just behind your sight pins? Also, i have always used a Kisser button so anchor points are not a real problem for me. Thaks for the info

I had the same problem you did with the rubber tubing peep. I got a peep ( the manuf. slips me at the moment) that splits the string three ways and a tru nock and never had any more trouble with it. Curently I am using a hind sight and love it ; I seem to be in the minority for that but thats ok to, but that helped more than the new peep.
