    About a month ago I bought a new PSE Stinger 3G and I love it but there is only one issue Im having, the peep sight keeps flying out and I dont know why Ive had it to a pro shop once to have it reinstalled but the other day while out shooting it came out again. I was wondering if anyone knew a solution I have to get a new peep so any suggestions would be great! It has a tubed peep and Id prefer to keep it that way for the ease of it.

    serving is not tied close enough to the peep so it has room to slide

    Along with not being tied tight enough, the tube may be too short and pulling too hard on the peep itself.

    When I had the second peep installed it was tied in tighter and the tubing was lenghtened.
    Is there any tube peep that could could tie in more securely or is this possible?

    Sound like an issue with how they tied it.
    Any chance of a pic?

    This was the first time it fell out, when the pro shop put it back in he tied it tighter. This time the peep came out of the tube aswell and lost it somewhere in the field.

    PSE are notorious for substandard strings which twist. I had the same issue until I purchased new custom strings and a mega peep sight. I also found the tube was very brittle from the factory and replaced that the first couple times I shot it. Then it would constantly give me grief, so I started researching and found out it appears to be a common problem.
    Bought new strings and haven't had an issue in over a year 1/2 (knock on wood)

    Is there a fix that could get me through till I need a new string. Ive been looking into the AIM outdoors whisker peep it looks like it holds the string alittle better. Ive got maybe 100 shots on it and I dont want to buy a string yet could this help?

    As mentioned, you'll want to get new strings as soon as you can - I've even seen tubed peeps on the 3G's completely rotate the entire way around after just a few months... Nice bow, just a horrible factory string.

    The 'full football' style peep is going to be more likely to stay where you need it... Try one of these... And make sure the serving material is very close to the end of the peep - like the pic in the link....
