Default Tubeless or not??

I'm kind of old school and use a peep with the tube aligner. I guess I've always been afraid that it would fail me at the moment of truth if I didn't have the tube. I also have never owned a top of the line string like a Winners Choice either. I guess I'm just looking for reassurance that it is safe to go tubeless with a quality string. Have you "tubeless" guys/gals ever had any problems?

I haven't used a tube on a peep in some 15 years - it is easy to train the string to turn the peep properly, but with the higher quality strings as of late the peep will rotate perfectly without concern

I also do not use a peep tube. After a couple rounds of shooting, the peep will turn and open up as I am drawing back.

The thought of having a slingshot pointed at my eye was enough to make me go tubeless and I've not had any problems.

If you practice all of the off season you will shoot what, 1000-2000 arrows? If it doesn't fail then why would it fail during hunting season?

Once I shot a dozen or so times, never had a problem.Went tubeless after it came off one too many times.

High quality strings don't stretch, and the ole twisting peep is no longer an issue......IF you set it up correctly to begin with.

I've had mine on my Vectrix Plus since Thanksgiving, it hasn't moved a bit. It's still perfectly square, opens every time.
