RE: peep sight
 
Normally when you pick up a new bow,you will have to shoot it 50-100 times to break the string in.Then re-install the peep and it shouldent give you any hassles.
Try twisting the string and tighten up the serving holding the peep in place,sometimes this works.

I'm assuming you have a peep that splits the string in 3 strands...not a big fan...shoot it for a while, break the string in and see where it leaves you...

If that fails, in a press, slack the string and move a couple strands from each split on the peep in the same direction, this will rotate your peep....

Yep, same as Rob... Save yourself the years of hassle I went through and use my experience as your wisdom; ditch the shurz-a-peep with three strands and go get a fletcher-style which only hasone strandrunning on each side. A literal WORLD of difference! :)

I always had the same problem. I ended up getting rid of the peep and just shot without it. The only difference was I used a second anchor point (string touching the tip of my nose). I had to make a slight sight adjustment and I was good to go. Its so nice to have a clear line of vision to my pins.

Good luck on whatever you choose to do! :)

i gave up and went with the rubber strapped peeps. i shoot with both eyes open so when a string got in the way i was using my left eye to do all the aiming.
