String Twist?
I posted this in the bowhunting forum and figured i would put this here also. How if possible do you eliminate string twist? My brother-in-law is having troulbe with this. Every time he draws he cant see through the peep? Any help is appreciated. Thanks Andrew14

RE: String Twist?
He needs to train the peep by rotating it the opposite way it is turning when he draws. Do this after shooting and also when the bow is just sitting there between shoots.
If he's using a d-loop the knots could be back wards or he can adjust the D-loop to the point that would bring the peep into alignment at full draw.

RE: String Twist?
I agree w/ Giblett - however, I am by no means an expert. I had a similar issue with my 2007 Hoyt Vulcan (meta peep) and had to have my local pro shop inspect it further. Granted, I only had approximately 300 shotswith the bow- which would certainly not "train" the string; but the pro shop did have to twist the string to obtain consistent rotation. In addition,my string leach had creaped down towards the peep, which was causing some issue, as well as when I was knocking my arrow I had a tendency to nock the arrow prior to inserting it into my whisker-biscuit rest (which was rotating the string). Not sure if this helps, but without too many specifics, I find it useful to learn from other folk's situations. Hope it works out.

When you say train the peep do you mean when your arrow is not nocked? My peep is about an 1/8th of a turn from being perfect. I'm left-handed and my peep is turning from right to left. I have to use my big nose at full draw to make it square.
