Peep rotation

[knightrider]

Is killing me, what can I do to fix peep rotation it's almost completely sideways at full draw

Weird as it sounds have you tried sliding your silencers up and down to see if it moves your peep?

Couple things here. Is you peep and loop both straight at full draw and it's rotating as you draw or are they both crooked at rest?

You can add twists to the strings to try to time it right or take strands from one side of the peep and put them on the other.

The easiest answer is get some better strings if they're rotating really bad as you draw if they're straight at rest.

The sets I build will generally have very little or zero rotation. Every now and then I'll get a stubborn set though.

Let me know some further details and I'll try to help!

They are both sideways to the left while at rest

Even the best made string will not ensure peep rotation, although minimal, will not occur. A poorly made string will cause erratic peep rotation, if your rotation is constant then there are things you can do to correct it and it's fairly normal to have to play around with it too a degree--it just will take time and some playing around to find that sweet spot.

As previously mentioned, you can add or remove twists to see if you can't come to an point where it is minimal(I typically remove twists). However, keep in mind that adding or removing twists may have an effect on the cables, especially if it's a slaved design. You can "walk" the peep around by swapping strands around the peep, one strand at a time. Once it gets close, you can use the d-loop to finish pulling the peep into position.

Since they're both off to the side, add or remove a half/whole twist (depending on the direction it needs to go) to get it lined up. I've found adding the twist seems to be more predicatable.

Well said.

I will add that it should be minimal and 1/4 turn at the absolute most. It's usually attributed to serving tension and trying to avoid separation.

Cut a very short piece of D loop cord (just a little longer than your bow string is thick) and burn both ends. Put it above your peep centered in your string and then slide it up or down to correct your peep. Most of the pros use this trick.

shoot the anchor sight and get rid of the peep.

A sight level and a kisser button and you can get rid of the peep. I tried one years ago and all was good in practice all summer long. Opening day right at daylight a big doe came in and I couldn't shoot because it was too dark looking through the peep. Learn to shoot without it and you will be fine. 38 years of bow hunting and I haven't missed many in the last 25 or so. I'v missed, just not many.
