Why does my peep sight keep turning?
Shooting isn’t the only thing that causes the string to twist and the peep to rotate. However, when you take a bow into the elements (e.g., when you take it on a hunting trip), all change will be accelerated, especially peep rotation. Hot and cold weather, as well as high humidity, can cause the string to twist.
Should arrows be shorter than draw length?
