    yes, it is turned at rest and when I come to full draw it will move but not all the way straight.

    Putting a half twist to straighten out your peep won’t mess anything up, your shop shoulda had you there when they put it on to check draw length, peep height and to paper or bare shaft tune. A bow can’t be tuned by someone else, they can only get you close. I never pre shot any new custom strings I got, factory yes prob around 50 shots. Dont setttle for a twisted peep or buy an aid to fix the problem. It’s an easy fix and any shop should be able to address it quickly. If you were near me I’d help ya out.

    My shop doesn't charge to add or take out a twist. It's a very quick job with a press. But at least you have options. Like Justin mentioned adjusting your Dloop will band aid it if you find yourself in the tree or without a shop or access to a press

    thanks to all. I took it back in today and spent about 30 mins getting it right. twist the string about half a twist and it is all good.
