    Ever since I bought my bought 4 months ago, the guys at the shop told me that if the peep seemed to be misaligned, I should turn my d-loop in or out depending on which way the peep was rotating essentially lining up the d-loop with the direction the peep sight is pointing. I find myself doing this every other shot b/c my peep seems to not rotate fully once I'm at full draw. Is this common?

    Also, because of this I think some of my arrows are coming off slanted once I release (there are black markings on my veins from the black brushes on the rest). Not sure if this is due to me messing with the string/d-loop to align it with the peep or a separate issue on its own. I'm open to any feedback.

    Thanks!

    Possibly the string stretching? I have had this problem on all my bows. It's just a habit now to rotate my peep. It hasn't effected the shot at all. As far as the vane contact I would assume it is more tune related, but I'm not a bow tech.

    To try and avoid this i wont have my peep tied in until i shoot 50 shots or more threw it to let string stretch. I did this on the bow i bought this year and have had no problems yet
