RE: Peep Tubing........
I hunted 80's and rain in IL., and then 0 degrees and snow in NE. my peep never failed to be where I needed it. I have no problem with anyone who wants to use a tube, but you will never find one on my Bow. I have no concern about my peep not being inline when I need it. I shoot in a variety of conditions year round and I have total confidence in it.

Peep tubing adds additional noise, slows down your arrow by 6-10 fps according to Bowtech, and with these high quality no stretch no creep strings; are simply not necessary. They went out with the new millenium.

As far as speed loss, I wouldn't take ANY bow companies word for how it will effect YOUR bow. I guarantee you I can set a bow up with a tubed peep that would rob close to 20fps if I wanted to but lets get real here. In reality, I chrono'd mine with and without the tube...I lost between 4-6fps, again nothing to get alarmed about unless your a speed junkie.

I was actually thinking you would use that against me. I was hoping you'd forgot about that post..........I was wrong.
Oh.....it's on!

BigJ,
I am all for the tube. I hunted one year without it and had a doe within range and could not get the shot due to my peep being twisted. How does the tube slow down the speed? Is it the extra wind it is catching or the weight?

It's funny because back when bows were just breaking the 200fps mark (and we thought THAT was fast) we were using brass nocks and all kinds of heavy crap on our strings, yet deer were getting killed back then too. How did we ever manage.
Change it often, don't wait for it to star cracking then wonder why it broke! I change mine twice a year whether it needs it or not. Once before hunting season and once after.

RE: Peep Tubing........
As someone stated, if anyone wants to use a tube on their peep, go for it, it doesn't affect my hunting at all.
I have not had a tube on my bow since the 90's and I've never had failure as far as my peep coming around neither hunting, nor 3D'n....I'll likely never have another tube again.
If you want to use one, good for you, not for me.

RE: Peep Tubing........
Ok, I didn't start this to find out who shoots a tubed peep and who doesn't although I did help it down that road[&:]. I too really don't care what you use, as long as you have fun it's all good.
My original question was why do so many TV hunters use a tubed peep? It seemed like every show I watched, the bow hunter had a tube on the peep. I was just in Bass Pro Shops last weekend and I was walking through the archery department. They had a tape on one of the many monitors above the displays of a bow hunt in progress. I stopped to watch it for a while (couldn't tell you who it was) and sure enough the guy in the film was also using a tubed peep.
Just something I observed and was curious about.

Above in bold was my question.
I don't think most of the t.v. hunters could hold a candle to the most knowledgeable bowyers in this forum. [8D]

While I agree with his statement I don't quite think it completely answers my question now does it??
Plus this question was posed to the whole HNI community and not just one member. If you don't want to participate in the discussion (other than your snide snippets)I suggestyou just post about another topic on another thread and leave mine be.
I already understand your position even though you didn'taddress the original question either, you don't liketubed peeps, ok I get it.Then just let usmouth breathing cretins discuss the subject whilst we move about thesub level caverns of this forumwith the hopeto get a fleeting ray of your vast bow hunting knowledge from atopyour steely stallionon a different topic on another day.
