Default peep rotation help needed

i have an x force 6 there is around probally 400 shots off it my peep is rotating 3/16to1/4in. to the right after every shot you have to straighten it back up to have it straight at full draw there is also a little vibration and string noise not much but noticeable the top timing mark is sitting at the very edge to left of string,the bottom mark is 1/3 of the way covering the string from left side think it just needs a twist or two in the string or what..........Ted

Get a bow press (take it into a shop if you don't have one) and twist the string so that the peep comes true at full draw and twist the cable so that both cams are back in sync and you should be good for the remaining life of those cables and string.

Note: Half a twist in the string at the top cam will turn your peep about 1/2 turn, a half twist in it at the bottom cam should turn your peep about 1/4 turn.

Depends on the bow and the type of cam. I always mark mine with a Sharpie pen across them in line with the limb once I get everything setup and tuned. Then all I have to do is get those marks back in line when I replace anything. (Also serves as a quick way to check that everything is in order whenever you pick the bow up.)
