Is that a new string, or is it just the first time you have used a tubeless peep on that bow?

RE: Peep sight movement?
Tie the peep in as shown, and then you will need to get your new string shot in. Typically this is pretty quick with a Winners Choice. Once the string is shot in , then you will need to twist the string until you get proper peep alignment, so the peep comes straight back and stays in that orientation after each shot.
It is usually just minor trial and error with a new string, but once set the Winners Choice are good about holding proper orientation.

My bow is a Parker Ultra Lite 31.
The bow string is: Winner's Choice 84 3/16 BCY8125 & XS Braid Center serving.
I measured the axle to axle length and came up with 31 1/8.
When I pull back my bow, the peep sight doesn't move at all. It has no twist to it. I'm not sure if this is a good or bad thing.

Who made the string. IMO and from experience I'd say it doesn't have enough twists in it. Most of the better ones I've seen have a complete twist in 1 1/2" of string length..
Try checking the bow's axle to axle length and compare to specs. If it's long then you may be able to add about ten twists to the string. This might help stabilize it and get rid of the peep rotation. The twisting will make the draw a hair shorter and drop the poundage a little. To remedy this you add a few twists to the cables.

RE: Peep sight movement?
Here is another way to tie in a peep by Specialty Archerythat works really well. Just make sure before you tie it in that it is exactly where you want it because it cannot be moved without cutting the ties off the peep. scroll halfway down and there is a video showing how it is done

RE: Peep sight movement?
is it me or is this a left handed bow which is upside down when the pic was taken? that would explain why it looks backwards to some. anyways, i would tie that baby inwith n chance of movement.....i don't like taking a chance with anything moving on my sights.
