Bgfisher is correct , you need more than 1 twist for every 2-3 inches. I twist mine like he said 1 twist for every 1.5 inches . If you only twist them 1 for every 2-3 inches be prepared for peep twisting.
Sorry but that's just hasn't been my experience. I've gone as little as 1 per 6 inches and haven't had any peep issues. If the string's not creeping it doesn't matter how many twists are in the string, it won't effect peep rotation.

From the Brownell technical spec.'s:
Bowstring materials Recommended number of strands

Brownell recommends 1 twist in the string for each 2-3 inches of string length
