My original question was why do so many TV hunters use a tubed peep? It seemed like every show I watched, the bow hunter had a tube on the peep. I was just in Bass Pro Shops last weekend and I was walking through the archery department. They had a tape on one of the many monitors above the displays of a bow hunt in progress. I stopped to watch it for a while (couldn't tell you who it was) and sure enough the guy in the film was also using a tubed peep.
Just something I observed and was curious about.
Here's my opinion to your original question BigJ,
It's probably because these TV "hunters" don't know enough not to use a peep. A peep is a guarantee and they don't set their own bows up or perhaps have the knowledge to train a peep. Prior to loops, I'd bet more of use used the tube, I did but today with higher quality strings, loops and knowledge, I see no need for them.
Most of these on air type personalities barely hit a target from some of the shows I've seen. They are "friends" of the TV personality and although they are definately bowhunters, very few are archers. (If that makes sense).
Kinda what Greg was saying.
