Welcome to the forum, C-B. There are a bunch of shooters here that use a device called a No-Peep. It eliminates the need for a peep mounted directly on your string. I've been using one for about 8 months now, and I'll never go back to the old peep style. It woks great.
Check this out:

There's also another similar device that's out now that is said to be superior to the no-peep, but it still follows the same concept. Maybe someone here can chime in if they have a link.
Good luck.
