Default tubing

Why does my new tubing keep slipping off of the spike connected to the peep sight?

Is it made out of silicone? They like to pop off alot. If I were you, Id get a non-tubing peep. Why do you want tubing pointing right at your eye, just waiting for it pop off and snap you right in the eye.

Dairy King:
I shot tubing on a peep for years and never worried about it hitting me in the eye. But now you mention it, I don't think I'll ever go back! [&:] I'll always be wondering when it will it my eye!!!

I say eliminate the tubing too... or even the peep sight! I'm shooting with just a kisser button and really perfer it to all the hassles I had with the peep. May slow the string down a little, but at least I don't have to adjust it every few shots!

I've got a hunters view, 1/4" peep site with tubing on it. I super glued my peep in place and wraped serving at the top and bottom. It works great and has increased my consistancy greatly, especially from a tree stand. Wore one tubing out this past winter. But now Da#! it I'm going to be worrying about that tubing hitting my eye!
