Well, BigJ...
My question to you would be, what happens when the day your tubing breaks on you you just happen to have a deer under your stand? So you replace it twice a year... Maybe you caught it on a thorn or clipped it with a broadhead. What happens then? Your insurance just went out the window. Suddenly your peep that rotated perfectly doesn't. Bummer, dude.
I honestly believe Rob hit the nail on the head with his post. I really doubt the majority of the TV hunters we see these days know more than most of us on these boards. They're made out to be knowledgable because they're marketed to be percieved that way. You could have a crap product but sell a ton of it, its all about the marketing.
Ever see the RealTree team shoot 3D? They don't have a camera man above them whispering the yardage to them. Its a wonder they can hit a live animal after watching them shoot 3D. A lot of them are marketed to be better at what they do than they really are.
I don't know. I honestly shouldn't have posted because I don't want to argue about it with you. You're dead set in believing the tubed peep is the end all solution to peep rotation problems and nothing anyone else says will convince you otherwise. Disregard my posts, I don't wish to continue the argument.
Well Dan,
UNLIKE you I will answer your question.....If my tube were to break, it might spook the deer.... it might not (depending on how close he was) but I can assure you my peep would still be aligned. If you'd taken the time to read my post you would have known the I install my peeps so that they align WITHOUT the tubing attached, that's insurance! If that deer bolted, I would simply pull off the broken tube and CONTINUE the hunt.
And NO I don't think a tubed peep is the "end all solution" unlike your position on the subject:
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.
Seems like I hit a nerve here............
