    I am sure this has been discussed on her before, but I am thinking about making the change and wanted to hear some other thoughts. I have always shot a tubeless peep and between string settling, weather changes, bow slowly going out of tune, etc. my peep has always turned.
    I am shooting a Mathews Z7 with good new strings. Just had the bow tuned and my new Drop Away installed and within a hundred shots after leaving the shop the strings settled more and the peep turns on me. Don't want to have to worry about it in the woods and I am thinking about installing a tubed peep.
    Just wondering what everyone's thoughts were on a tubed peep.
    Thanks in Advance

    My bow has a tubed peep and it was wonderful for the first year and a half and 500 shots, then it went to crap fast. The tube part dry rots and cracks, and pulls of the peep when drawing and all kinds of stuff. That's just my experience.

    A couple turns of the string should put the peep back in place. I have no issues with my tubeless peep. For the reasons mentioned above I'd stay tubeless.

    I'm still a big fan of tubeless. A correctly tied D-loop has never failed me in lining up my peep.

    I switched from tubed to tubeless because my peep would always seem to wander. I know that it was improperly tied on my old bow, which is on what I made the switch. When I got my new bow, I just stayed tubeless.

    A properly built string out of 452x or Trophy will eliminate the need for a tube. Which like all the above have said snaps after awhile. If the string is served in the right direction and stretched to the proper time. The peep should be in the proper location before you draw the d loop and after you draw. A properly done string set up in the correct way doesn't need a d loop to train it.

    I think I am going to have the peep retied in this weekend and see if that helps. I go to a quality bow shop, but just frustrated that my peep continues to have problems.

    Tubeless all the way. They put a "shaded" peep of some sort on my creed. Apparently it will always line up. One thing to try if your peep twists is to TURN YOUR D LOOP to counter act it. That should stay put and keep your peep lining up. It has always worked for me in the past.

    My sentiments exactly.

    A tubed peep is just one more thing that might mess up or break imo.

    D Loop is stretched to its max at this point. Going to have to tie a new one in and maybe a new D Loop if need be. There are some people that like tubed, but seems that tubeless is the way to stay.
