    I was out shooting yesterday and after a few arrows couldn't see through my peep. Went to draw back again to check the problem and my d-loop was now facing inward. It's like my entire string twisted/rotated in the cams. Anyone ever experience this? I am going to get it in the shop this week, curious what could have caused this and if there is anything I can do?

    This can happen with a new string as it breaks in. Take it to the shop and they'll put it in a press and give the string a few twists in the right direction, then they'll put it back on the cam. This might have to be done more than once as it breaks in.

    The only way to prevent this is to use a self-aligning peep or one of those clamp-on solid metal d-loops. Those will keep the peep aligned correctly.

    Also, keep in mind it doesn't matter if the peep is lined up while the string is just sitting there, it only needs to line up when you draw and anchor. My peep is slightly angled until I draw and then it lines up.
