RE: peeps with straps
i use peep tubing with my peep and (imo) yes it does make some noise when you shoot... but on the other hand youre right bout it aligining the peep...and yes you have to keep an eye on it cause it will strart to crack,rot and will break..sometimes in the most inoppertune times...(hmmm did i spell that right?...lol)
Anyway try some different ones to see which you like and are comfortable with....
