Simply put, there is no need for it on my bow.
I have a quality string.
I have a properly tied d-loop.
I get perfect rotation every time.
Personally, I say screw what the celebrities on TV are doing. Honestly, who cares? I didn't buy my bow because its what they shoot. I didn't buy my arrows because its what they shoot. Why would I shoot with tubing because they do?
Dan,
Never said you, or anybody had to. I never asked if there was a
need for it on
your bow either. It's good to seefolks are reading today.
I was just wondering why most use a tube style peep.....there must be an answer. So far we've had some interesting theories, some I'm sure hold warrant but I don't think they explain it all. Nice of you to add to the discussion.
I'm glad your set up is working flawless for you.
What happens to your string when it starts to reach the end of it's service life? What happens when the day it decides to creep because it starting to wear out and you just happen to have a deer under your stand?
Perhaps the pressure of "getting the kill" on tape is so great that the TV & Video folks rely on the tube as a "back up" just in case that (or something else) happens to cause their peep NOT to align? Seems plausible to me, who wouldn't like some added security for when the shot is on the line?
