Default Peep Tubing

Do you hunt with or without surgical tubing?

I decided after hunting with it for two years to take it off and try it without this year.

When I took it to the shop to have my new peep tied in, the guy working the back counter actually told me I was dumb for taking it off.

I didn't take it to heart though as he later told me a tale of how the elk he shot last season was standing 80 yards away downhill. Not that I didn't believe him, I just found it unethical.

If you've been hit in the face just one time by one of those when it breaks......you'll never use one again.

Hah, well I never had one actually hit me in the face, but I did have them crack and snap a couple times.

I have hit myself in the face when a string loop failed though!

yes. i use one and i alway have. the only thing i've been worried about before with it is the tubing breaking so i make sure to replace it every year or at the first signs of wear.

The reason i say no, it's another thing to go wrong. Buy a balanced string. Peep tubing makes your FPS slower(not much, but a little so it aint a biggy), It can break at any time, it gets caught on everything while walking through the woods, it's something else you have to buy, and the tube peeps i've seen are a lot larger than regular in-line peeps, which also makes you slower. Buy a fletcher tru-peep and be set.

I hate the tube. It's loud, dangerous, unnecessary, and one more thing to break. If you insist on a peep, go tubeless.

Thebest move I've made was when I got rid of my peep and went to a small kisser button. It forced me to learn how to shoot properly - by relying on a consistent anchor point and form.
