Hey y'all. This is my first post on here, and I have a question or two for you gentlemen. I've been shooting a tubed peep sight for years and after shooting today I really started considering switching to a tubeless peep. What are cons of the tubeless, and what do y'all recommend? I'm hearing the rubber slap more and more, and frankly, I'm tired of dealing with replacing tubing. Any insight is greatly appreciated.
 
About the only con to a tubeless peep is the fact that it MIGHT not draw back straight everytime you pull your bow back. If you have a pre-stretched string, you shouldn't have many problems with this until your string gets older. I shoot a G5 Meta Peep in green. I have the 1/4" aperture so it lets in a lot of light. Love my peep. For $10, it's worth a try.
 
I plan on changing the peep next month when I get the cable and string changed. So I'll keep that in mind on my string selection. You're right for $10 bucks it is worth a shot, I just hope I like it being that close to season.
 
Yea I would say keep your old peep. You will probably have to re-sight anyways due to your new string. Hope it turns out good!
 
First of all, Welcome to the site! Shot a tube peep for years, but then again that was back in the day when you almost had to due to the type of string material. String material has come a very, very long way and made rotation problems almost a thing of the past. Not saying that you still can't have rotation problems, but if the serving is done right, the string is stretched properly and the peep is tied in correctly you can almost bet that the peep will do what it should do. I use for my hunting setup a 1/4" G5 meta peep, my target bow I use a 1/8".
 
Biggest problem is rotation. That was the biggest reason I went to the tube. On my assassain I have a standard peep and it took a few times to get it setup, but mininmal rotation now.
 
The strings I have from Energy Wave currently on my bow have not rotated and I've probably put 1,000 shots. I have a buddy that still shoots a tube peep regardless cause if he had a B&C buck and couldn't see cause the peep rotated well...you can imagine.
 
I hate tubing. I have used a 3/16 meta peep for years. With a quality string that is settled in, you should be able to set it and not worry about it for a long time as long as you don't leave the bow in a hot car or something
 
gave up on the tube years ago, dont remember the brand I have now but it works great & I dont get slapped in the face every time a tube breaks & it opens up the string unuff you can see during low light hours VS a try'n to see thru a tiny peep hole.

This aint exactly the one I have but looks very simaler & he gives a good "how to" demo (despite the camera man), take a look.

I'm thinking about going with the Winner's Choice strings and cable system. How are they on rotation and stretching. I've never really experimented with different strings, but I'm finally going to change it up. As far as twist for a tubeless what are the strings y'all best recommend?

Winner's Choice is very over-priced ($120-$130) but it is a decent string�not worth the pricetag though IMO. Every WC string set I have used has creeped on me a bit and took a short time for the string to settle to the point where the peep would hold. I would very strongly advise you to look into www.EnergyWaveBowstrings.com made right here in TN and a member of this forum, (fasteddie). His strings are top quality and half the price of Winner's Choice and the string is settled in less than 10 shots and creep is virtually a non-issue.
 
Thanks TNDeerGuy. I believe I'm gonna go with the strings you recommend. I'll be placing an order within the next few weeks. Thanks again.
 
I shoot tubeless on the off chance that the tube breaks and pops me in the eye, it would really hurt...
 
Yea, that's one of the reasons why I'm wanting to switch. That and the slap is rather loud. I just want to make my rig quieter and safer.
