to use a rubber or not to use a rubber
 

I was wondering if using a peep sight with rubber tubing is worth having your peep always aligned, right now I use a basic tri slot peep I am not interested in spending forty dollars for the no peep and I shoot better with a peep sight rather than with out one.thanks

I have had luck with the ones that divide the string into thirds, without tubing....I don't like the tubing myself

I use a two strand one but use a string loop to align. Works for me!

I use silicone tubing instead of plain old rubber. It seems to last longer and weather doesn't rot it in the long run.

Using tubing will slow your bow down something like 15 fps, I believe. I use a huge peep that seperate the string into three parts, and it aligns perfectly all the time. And I dont like the idea that theres a rubber band pointed right at my eye when Im at full draw.

i got one that divides the string in half and a tube aligns it and it works good

15 years ago I went with a peep. It worked but looking back it sucked. That extra piece is adding another component to a component ridden device that can fail. When I say fail I mean it can fail and you not know it. Just snag it on a branch walking through the woods. Don't damage it enough to show while your settling in you stand. Pull back and aim as the big boy is broadside at 15 yrds and hear twang. You get my point.

A kisser is just as effective without the extras hanging off. I use a red dot scope and love it but it does cost a little. I would never go back to the peep set up.

Good luck!

My vote is to go without the tubing. Just get someone who knows what they are doign to install the peep and if your string has already been "broken in" it should line up perfectly from then on.

I dont' like slowing my arrow down unnecessarily, and plus, that tubing can add some noise. In addition, like others have said it's just another device that has a chance to fail at the wrong time.
