Need advise
Ok guys.... I'm pretty new to bow hunting (3years). I purchased a used hoyt Powerhawk and started practicing and learned my anchor points and became very confident over the next year. I decided to get in the woods with it and managed to lay down a couple of brown meat donators. I then started having issues with my peep always under rotating. I took it to my local archery shop and they replaced and reset the peep. It worked great for about 50-75 draws.... then the same issue returned. I also recently purchased an old Martin phantom ii.... same issue. Let me note I shoot LH. I don't think that's the culprit. Any advise is greatly appreciated.

This may not be correct for the archery gurus. But, couldn't you align the d-loop so the peep is good and then glue the d-loop with say gorilla glue or similar? I sure wouldn't want to be twisting the string when you are about to shoot.

The proper way to ensure your D-loop and peep remain oriented together is to "tie in," or "serve in" the D-loop. Your shop should have done this once your nock position was set anyway, or they can do so now. There are plenty of videos online for how to serve, and serving string is cheap, so you could also do it yourself if you don't have faith in your shop.

I wouldn't say it's confirmed the D-loop is the issue - but it's a solution. If the peep turns for any reason, the D-loop can re-orient it to the shooter when drawn.
Strings stretch, peeps turn. I've grown up with horizontal peeps, such no matter what my string does, I don't have to fight rotation. I sacrifice a little for shape and a little brightness loss compared to an angled peep, but it's never bothered me, and never seemed to grow my group size (carefully matching diameter with sight housing diameter).
