RE: Peep Tubing........
 
I think Greg hit the nail on the head. As far as my participation?I can participate in any dicussion I choose. If you don't like my opinion you can ignore it. Simple, butothers have right to know there are 2 sides to this debate.I think we know yours also, even before you posted this thread. As I already stated I could care less ifanyone shoots a tubed peep, wood arrows, dull broadheads, or whatever. I just choose not to and I have zero problems as others have also posted on this thread. Those who read the thread should know that;)

Don't get bent out of shape because I don't use or recommend tubed peeps. I did set a guy up with one a week or so ago. It was his choice and his money:D

I'm not bent out of shape at all Dan....that's your department.

And while you most certainly can "participate in any discussion you choose" It would help if you stayed on topic or IGNORE my thread, simple.

Two sides to what debate???? I'm not debating which form of peep is better. If you would get your head out of the clouds for a second you'd see that. Both have their pros and cons but that's NOT what I'm talking about. I'd like to know if anyone else has noticed (and why it seems) that in the majority of the TV and video huntsthe hunter has a bow with a tubed peep on it. Who knowsmaybe they know something we.....eryou don't.;)

Now as most of you know I'm a big advocate of peep tubing. I think the pros far outweigh the cons and apparently so do a lot of the "Pro" TV hunters as well. Yet every time it's brought up on these boards folks shoot it down like it's the plague or something, why?

And if you were to look down the line at the Vegas shoot or any other shoot where the big boys are.... how many rubber stretchy things do you think you'd see.[8D] It's a quick fix for a crappy setup. LOL

Can you IMAGINE letting loose an errant arrow on THAT line?

Um....David......Please read what you yourself actually cut and pasted. I'm talking about HUNTING TV shows and videos. So unless there's the ever so elusive "carpet deer" at the other end of those archers, I don't think that photo amounts to a hill of beans.

Sigh.............:eek:

My original question was why do so many TV hunters use a tubed peep? It seemed like every show I watched, the bow hunter had a tube on the peep. I was just in Bass Pro Shops last weekend and I was walking through the archery department. They had a tape on one of the many monitors above the displays of a bow hunt in progress. I stopped to watch it for a while (couldn't tell you who it was) and sure enough the guy in the film was also using a tubed peep.

Just something I observed and was curious about.
Here's my opinion to your original question BigJ,

It's probably because these TV "hunters" don't know enough not to use a peep. A peep is a guarantee and they don't set their own bows up or perhaps have the knowledge to train a peep. Prior to loops, I'd bet more of use used the tube, I did but today with higher quality strings, loops and knowledge, I see no need for them.

Most of these on air type personalities barely hit a target from some of the shows I've seen. They are "friends" of the TV personality and although they are definately bowhunters, very few are archers. (If that makes sense).

Kinda what Greg was saying.

BigJ as far as my answer to your question. I think Greg and Rob have pretty much covered it.

If I said it I might not be so politically correct;)

RE: Peep Tubing........
 
I personally switched from a tube peep to tubeless BECAUSE I could not find a tube peep with a big enough hole for my hunting requirements???? If they made one back when I made the switch I would still probably be shooting tubed peeps?? Maybe??

Maybe the peep sight company sponsored the show?
Or maybe they just like them for the same reasons you do.
