    I keep having to adjust my peep sight. I will get it placed tye it in and after a couple weeks my string will slowly start rotating around so it does not come back correctly to my eye. I chase with my d loop so it does rotate it correctly but ultimately normally end up having to adjust it within the string again. Any reason for this?

    How old is your string and what kind is it?

    I have had this same problem out of zebra strings before. They stretch quite a bit.

    Depends on the season
    Your string is unbalanced, earning you have to get it in a press and give one side or the other one twist or half twist to bring the peep around.
    Good luck

    Ditto... I would think it should be finished stretching though after a year.

    Nope, they will constantly creep BUT the peep rotation is caused by the serving. Most factory strings are put on with a machine and they seem to always do one end the wrong direction. This causes the string and cables to never settle. Creating the situation of constantly moving. Better string material will combat an improperly built string but not totally get rid of the issue.

    Quality materials with properly built strings is the only way to go. Most aftermarket strings will give you this.
