    Well guys, I finally got my bow in. PSE Stinger 3g and I love it. But I am having a problem. I can't see through my peep sight. I go the bow set up at the local bow shop. Got home and started shooting and progressively my peep sight would get worse and worse until I couldn't see through it at all. I took i back to the pro shop and they re served it and everything was lined up. Got it home again, and again it started getting progressively worse until I couldn't see through it. Im new to archery but some reading told me that bowstring takes a while to "wear in". If that's the case am I just supposed to deal with not using the peep, or is there something that can be done to fix my issue. I'm shooting pretty good when my peep sight was working, now not so much.

    I'm no expert but it might be a cheap string that's stretching a lot.

    i have the exact same bow and when i first got it i got so much peep twist also, and after a few days the peep tube actually broke so i got a new g5 meta peep sight and it helped, but i still got twist. the stock strings arent good at all and everytime i nocked an arrow i had to make sure the d loop and peep were lined up but since i put new vapor trail string on i havent had any more problems with peep twist or alignment

    Thanks guys. Its just frustrating trying to get some practice in being a noob and all, and every time I pull back the peep is out of wack.

    Now if I was gonna get better string put on do I order it and take it to the bow shop or just get them to put some on for me?
    Anyone have a site for good string. Are any better then the other?

    Thanks again guys.

    I had a similar issue sometimes I would draw back and my peep was off. Guys at the shot here did something with melting the string. Not sure 100% but whatever they did ha worked on the last 50 or so arrows I put thru
