What the difference between the tube less peep sight and the none tubless? Does the tube make alot of noise and slow your bow down? Opinions? I'm currently shooting a tubed peep sight.
You already mentioned the differences. I as well as many other prefer a tubeless peep sight for the reasons you mentioned, plus, the tubing will dry rot and eventually break off. Tube style peeps were popular years ago due to the fact that string quality wasn't nearly as good as it is on most bows today. The reason is that the old strings and even poorly built new strings, never actually settle down during the first 100 or so shots out of the bow. This unsettled bundle of strands that make up your string constantly is shifting around, causing your peep sight to never align consistently. This is due to the individual strands stretching differently from one another. Enter the tubed peep, which corrects for this. Todays bows and high end string makers typically pre-stretch their strands before assembling a string. What this does is stabilize the string and practically eliminates any additional stretching of the strands once on your bow. Since the strands aren't stretching and settling much, your peep sight should stay in alignment for the life of the string. All strings require a 20-100 shot break in period before the peep is installed. Good strings, like Vaportrail, Winner Choice, etc., are built this way. I've used Vaportrail for several years now and have never had an issue with peep rotation. If you're bow is relatively new, I'd recommend getting a good set of strings, a tubeless peep and leave that rubber band stuff behind.
i have heard the tubeing slows down your bow, i dont know if there is truth to this or not. However, im not exactly a fan of having a stretched out rubber band pointed directly at my eye lol.
Yeah had some smack me across the face earlier this summer. My fault I put the tubing on and cut it too short so it broke like on the 2nd shot. Just keep an eye on the tubing and when cracks start developing just change it. Its not a big deal and that tube will probably last you all summer. I just changed mine again just before season to be on the safe side. Next year I'll probably go with a tubeless peep but I can't really say anything bad about the tubed peep that I have.
I use to shoot a tube peep sight but now i use a g5 1/4 which works well but i have had problems with it twisting up which i should have looked at before season....
Tubed peep sights are a thing of the past in my view. like already said, they were great with the old strings that would stretch & untwist on there own but with todays strings on most bows I cant see the need for a tube... also its just more to go wrong. if you have a tubed peep sight you can just take the tube off & it will work just fine still.
