Default Elastic cord instead of ruber tubing

I have installed a true ball peep on my Switchback and I am having trouble getting it to rotate properly . I have installed a peep aligner and the rubber tubing is a bit noisy . I have heard of putting elastic cord on instead and it is alot quieter .Can anyone tell me what they use . I plan on getting the peep alone and lined but it is to close to season to monkey around with it now , I just want to practice with out worrying about it twisting on me .


Thanks Frank

Do you shoot with a loop? If so just rotate your loop around a little bit.

Or you could take it to the shop and have them put in or take out a half twist in the string, depending on which way it needs to twist.

I had the same problem when I first started using the rubber tubing alignment system. The directions didn't say how to attach the anchor end of the tubing, but from looking at catalogs and bowhunting mags, it looked to me like everyone tied it directly to the down cable. I tried this, but the peep was always rotating to the left just a little because the cables are intentionally held off of centerline by the cable bar. Doh!
So I solved the problem by using one of those tie wrap stick-on plates(available from Radio Shack), that are used to tie up computer cables and have an ultra strong sticky tape on the back. I attaced it to the limb right above the riser pocket.
It looks a little strange, but it works like a charm!
As a side note... I change my surgical tubing every year since it's cheap enough, and I woudn't want to get "thwapped" in the eye should it ever break!
