How to you feel about the hybrid bow setup? Is it something you would do to achieve more accuracy? Let me know your thoughts in the comment section! Besides, If you are interested in my knife please visit my website. Pretty soon there is going to be a new knife design available. www.survivallilly.at/
Lilly, thank you for doing this video. I love archery and how you taught us how to put a peep on a bow string. I also enjoy your happiness when you see yourself improving. You are such a joy to watch and learn from. Until next time, keep up your good work. Bye for now.
Quick question ... I will buy another one anyway ... but did you resolve the issue with the APO knife sheath where the widest part of the knife is lightly wider than the sheath?
I love the knife by the way!!! Took it hunting and when I shot a deer I had zero problems the knife cut so smoothly! Loved it! 10/10 :D
Stabiliser maybe.
Lilly..
iam from the uk and would like the Apo 1 survival knife it's exelant..ive had so many conflicting views on how the law is and how would it be possible to import the same knife you have in this vblog..i would really appreciate your experience on this Lilly..thank you..
the peep is a awsum feature..whisker biscuit comes to mind aswel..peace and Love to all from the uk..
Look at that smile. How exciting. Archery is so underrated.
True fact !
so true
Yup. Looks like a lot of fun.
Archery is fun
Yes! Hitting your target consistently is absolute fun. I'm glad it worked out.
I’ve used a peep sight for quite some time and have found wrapping a piece of white thread around my bowstring at the appropriate height to be just as effective. No need for a device to keep the peep aligned. I find simpler better for me...especially when hunting. I enjoy your vids. Keep at it!
Tie your peep in top and bottom and it won't move at all.
I am going to try that, thank you
@@mikeford963 he said aligned, not that it was moving.
@@Nick-wn1xw Peep alignment without a rubber tube (going back to the 90's here) is dependent on the twists in the string and the proper tuning of the bow. SOME times, the peep can slide up or down those twists which changes the alignment. If you tie the peep in, or "serve" it in top and bottom, you put pressure on the string above and below the peep which prevents that from happening therefore maintaining proper peep alignment.
You have a quick release, a sight, a kisser button, and now a peep sight. If you want accuracy, you should just get a compound bow. Having all of that equipment on your recurve, it takes the traditionalness (if that is even a word) out of the recurve.
Lilly you are one tuff gal. Many of the guys I know are not tuff enough to mod their bow in such extreme conditions. I love your grit.
Hi Lilly, I've been shooting since I was 5 years old and that was many moons ago. I enjoy shooting by instinct - no sights - no trigger. I have my reasons for that. Anyway, I have a bit of trivia: The bow you're holding has the removable limbs. The concept was the brainchild of Fred Bear. He want on a trip and had trouble with the length of longbow in traveling and eventually that gave birth to what you are holding today. Tip: while target shooting use an arm guard even if you don't need it to protect you arm .... it'll keep clothing from interfering with the string when shooting. Try holding your position/after arrow release; don't drop the bow right away. Also pay attention to forward creep of your draw hand from its anchor point ... sign of fatigue .... arrow may strike and group to the right of your known bullseye. Good luck. Thank for the video.
@my account I'm so sorry "Gender confused my account." I'm sorry that you're ignorant and that your belligerent diatribe fell on deaf ears. I understand you need attention and get off watching a young woman play forest nymph. I'm not you Mommy nor a computer. I'm not here for you sense of entitlement. Please feel free to return to your fantasy. Look me up when you have a clue. Be careful, you may find yourself up shits creek without a paddle.
J F Good info!
Cannot beat tips from an old school archer, 👍
Enjoy your archery videos and your enthusiasm is contagious. Been into archery over 50 years still hunt and throw sticks at targets. Great channel, love you're hard work!
Hunting with recurve bow and shooting with bare fingers with no sight is a great challenge. That is why I sometime choose to shoot with bare fingers to keep in form,
Hi,Lilly ! Sie wissen,lieber Lilly, dass immer mehr Naturliebhaber in Rumänien lhnen Posts weckt lnteresse und regt zur Diskussion an, was meiner Meinung nach sehr gut ist !
"Let me show you its features! HAHAHA!"
Jeorg is the Master!
Love his laugh.
I read this in his voice
I love this video. Years ago I shot a Browning fiberglass recurve, and three years ago I started shooting a compound bow. I was shocked at the increased in accuracy and from your video I now know that the same sight system and release will bring increased accuracy with my old recurve. Yes, this hybrid system I think could be very important to recurve archers. Thank you for doing this.
You’re skills is really good, Lilly. Keep it up.
I tried recurve, got to be okay at 25 yards, but for deer hunting I wanted to be as accurate as possible, in order to be an ethical hunter, so I shoot a compound with the various devices she is demonstrating. As a sport and art, archery is better with a recurve, but to hit the kill zone at 30 or 40 yards, a compound is the way to go.
I wonder, when not surviving, what Lilly’s day job is.
A drop-away or circular brush type arrow rest will tighten your group even more.
"Circular brush type" arrow rest is called a whisker buiscit
Super Ergebnis liebe Lilly! Toll gemacht auf der kalten Werkbank! LG und schönen Sonntag Euch, Sepp
It's awesome,we can share your joy when you hit in the middle of the target
Drop Down Arrow Rest !!!
Drop Down Arrow Rest !!!
Drop Down Arrow Rest !!!
then she can directly change to compounds with all of other advantages.-)
Let’s get you to 1 million! I’m almost to 1k! Love the vids God bless!
I will subscribe to you, I like supporting people!
Remember this comment the quality of your videos is great! I hope you 'll reach a 100k or one million!
I'm passionate about archery. I'm impressed by how you installed the peep in such bad weather conditions. Congrats! Yes, I've discovered the use of peep sights in all kinds of bows and they are fantastic! I've just subscribed to your channel.
That's awesome I'm going to have to install one, great video
like to see this comparison
😊
Been thinking of adding these parts to my bow, but didn't think it would be acceptable, but seeing u do it makes me say the hell with it and Imma do it
It's your bow, do whatever you want with it. If people don't like it then they'll just have to get over it won't they.
I'm honestly not sure why not just use a compound bow instead? If it's accuracy someone wants then using compound tools with a recurve bow seems counterintuitive. Also, recurve bows don't have a left-off so using a compound release is not perfect since it simply might not hold the full weight of the draw at some point in the future risiking an unwanted shot or worse. 40 lbs for a recurve is like 10 for compound in full draw and that's the weight the release is usually holding.
I've had one on my bow for 30years
Lilly I love your videos. And you were the first person that got me interested in shooting a bow. That was 4 or 5 years ago, took sometime but I got my first bow 3 weeks ago. I haven’t received the sighting system yet but I been shooting 3 to 1 days to rest.
I also use a wrist release! Some of the new mi-nute things I picked up is when you pull back. Pull with just the wrist and allow the three trailing fingers to just relax. Then lightly rest your trigger finger on the release and pull through when your ready. By relaxing the 3 smaller figure it helps the release start in proper alignment.
Thank you again! Still waiting on local archery shop to get in a left handed recurve till then the compound is tremendously therapeutic
P.S. you need a bow stringer. It prevents limb warping.
You can get really good using just one pin, too.
Over time as you get better judging distance you hold hold over or under to compensate from the 20 yard pin.
Peep sights on the bow string are awesome. I am very glad you found a peep sight. I have one on all my bows. Keep being awesome Lilly!
So nice to see you happy! Love your vids!
It is incredible how you installed this yourself. And in such horrible weather.
I would think locating the peep on the bow string is best done by a helper. The archer draws the string and hold, the helper put a mark on the string where the eye is looking through.
I would have titled the video slightly differently though.
Peep hole and front sight certainly increase accuracy. It gives the archer an extra tool, for front-sight / rear-sight visual alignment.
That said, I don't know if it "increases skill".
My wife and I started several years ago with a 6-wk lesson package at a local indoor archery range.
As beginners, we started with basic compound bows. School has recurves too, but coach said we can try that in later lessons when we've got the basics down (probably due to the higher draw weight while holding).
All bows had NO sight. By end of lesson 1, I was so frustrated. Without any visual reference, my shots were going all over the place.
When we went back the following week, I brought a triangular paper-clip with me. Some call it binder clips.
Using Post-it notes to avoid scratching the bow, I put the binder clip on the bow and used it as my elevation reference.
First 30min of class, all my shots landed within a 12" circle at 12 yards away.
Coach moved my target out to 20 yards. My grouping dispersed - again landing randomly on the 36" diameter target.
10min later, I asked to change to a smaller paper target: looked like 20"x20", with a 18" diameter. --> Again, this brought my grouping to within 12" from bulls eye.
That day, I learned "aim small to miss small".
By lesson 5~6, I was routinely shooting a 8" grouping at 25 yards away... Using just a binder-clip for front sight (elevation only).
Fast forward: years later, my son and I both got our own compound bows.
Whisker biscuit, 3-pin front sight, peep sight, D-loop, etc., the whole 9 yards. Also got trigger release too.
It took me only 3 visits to the local outdoor range to get bored with this setup.
It became a game of:
- Adjusting my pins until they're spot on.
- Learn how to settle down & keep still for consistency (very easy for me, I've being practicing taichi for >20yrs)
- Occasionally guess/adjust for wind based on feel.
Too boring.
Then the memory came back to me:
In that first "archery school", when I was indulging in my own accomplishment by class 5 ~ 6...
All the way down the other end of the range, where a regular/seasoned class was going on (not our beginner's group), there were students shooting a smaller grouping than me, at 5 yards further than me, with no sight on the bow at all. 100% instinctive shooting.
I then spent the next few range sessions trying instinctive, ignoring all the sights on the compound bow.
I got hooked.
THAT, is a real challenge to archery skill. NOW, I finally get it, why that archery school had no sights on their bows.
Earlier this week, I received my first traditional recurve bow. No shelf. No sight. No nock point. No D-loop. (Just strung it, with the string strands straight, for tension break-in.)
I will be challenging myself to learn & master instinctive shooting. Both hands. Resting arrow on both sides of bow. (That's 2x2 = 4 combinations)
My plan is to start with Mediterranean draw. But eventually I want to also get mastery using Mongolian thumb ring.
I imagine this is going to be approx 1~2yr journey...
Now that's interesting, I was told that i should not use a release with a regular bow because it would not be accurate. I have to try this setup! Thanks for the vid Lilly.
Also, You may want to use multiple targets or an arrow stop target with multiple bullseye because once you get the hang of the peep robin hooding arrows starts to be more common when your accuracy gets dialed in. After I started using a peep and pins I ruined several expensive carbon arrows trying to group on the same target point.
Great video Lilly, keep up the good work, you are always sharing better ways to survive, we thank you for that.
it's a cool hybrid setup! but just a tip, if you look up how to serve a peep sight on a bow string, it will teach you how to put the peep on more solidly, and have it last longer.
Next up, shooting a modern flagship compound instinctively with thumb draw.
😂
I've been shooting compounds and recurve for years and I never thought to put a peep sight on my recurve.
for competition, i think it's forbiden, that's might be why nobody speak about putting a peep on a recurve ;)
Lilly it is not safe to have any loose strings or objects hanging from your bow. The tubing from your peep should stretch enough for your draw length. You are missing a piece that glues onto your riser and the rubber tubing slides onto that piece. Please research it ..
I have shot bow during hunting season for over 30 years, I had mentioned a while ago to you to add a peep site and a kisser button to improve accuracy and consistency... Glad you finally tried one of them. Seeing your excitement and happiness, go ahead and add the kisser button as well... It helps you hold the bow string in the sane position consistently shot after shot... More Joy to come!
Lilly, gracias por tu vídeo.
Saludos desde Uruguay.
Your videos really inspire me! I also have myself a nice recurve bow and I’m thinking this would be a great addition to it, thank you so much!
Nachzielen hilft die Gruppen kleiner zu kriegen. Der Fehler ist den Bogenarm direkt nach dem release sacken zu lassen, das bringt Unruhe rein. Hat mir auch geholfen mir der Zwille zu treffen, soweit das ich auf 7m Entfernung Wäscheklammern von der Wäscheleine schießen konnte. ;-)
*Drinking Game*
Take a shot whenever Lilly says “Peep” 😂
I'm done at 3:00 -.-
You would be drunk 😜
I ahve tride it adn thiss is guuud 😆
Cjeerss 😅
LOL 😄
Which shot? The drinking type, or the arrow type? 🤣
I admire your excellent marksmanship with that weapon. Make sure that you don't shoot at any moving object for fear that you'll hit somebody. Archery is a sport that requires concentration and practice. Robin Hood was a noted archer from England in the olden days. His extraordinary talent in archery always amazes me when I read the book about him.
Robin hood is a fictional character
dafuq are you on about
Wow, you're very creative archer change recurve bow to compound bow.
Excellent video!! Great aim. You have been doing a wonderful job through all this time that you have been uploading videos. Blessings
That’s not traditional archery, on a survival situation you don’t want to rely on peeps sights, triggers etc. Too many things can go wrong and do GO wrong. If you start hunting avidly you will get my point, you become too dependent on the equipment and not on the skill. Hunt in swaps, forest, places with high humidity and for every environment adjustments have to be made for me it takes all of the fun out and just more stuff to carry. I played with all of that stud for a while but the freedom I get from just grabbing my bow a going out at a seconds notice greatly increased my hunting.
I understand the traditional aspects of your comment, but that last sentence...did it increase your "catching"?
A Smith Not at the beginning, but once I got the fundamentals yes my harvesting increased. You need to hide your scent, your form, your sounds, play the wind and be fairly accurate at least 20 yards and hunt in different environments. Also for me recurves made from carbon fiber are more consistent shooters if you go for an all conditions type of hunting. Another benefit is that I can use different type of arrows with out major complications. Carbon aluminum or wood with different lengths and weight I can consistently hit a six inch circle which is accurate enough to make clean kills. I do this purposely because on a survival scenario you are going to shoot what you can find or make on our own.
mokshavortice Sounds awesome! Those carbon fiber bows seem amazing but are only a dream for me, $$$$.
This is what I love about archery. You can set YOUR bow up however you want. I hunt with my Olympic style recurve with sights. No one can tell me “you’re not doing it right!”
Lily, there should be another small piece in the package that looks like the little stud on the back of the peep that glues on the riser to slip the rubber tube on. Since the peep is generally used on compounds , you might need to buy some longer tubing so you don't stretch it too much and change the torque on your bowstring. As you mentioned, anchor point is critical. Good luck and have fun!!
lol yeah I think I saw it fall on the ground when she open the package
There might be a piece that glues to your bow to attach the other end of the rubber tube. Your bow is still a recurve it just has a sight it normally comes with the peep
Great job and keep it up
You can also put a small wrap of red thread on string, sliding it up or down until you get it where you want and then one drop of super glue to keep it there.
Nice setup, but as USensei pointed out, this is a recurve sight, not a compound sight. Compounds tend to be bulkier and include lenses/scopes for magnification, not a plain loop with 3 pins.
touché
Hybrid compound and target bow setup. BTW you can choose a hunting bow sight with magnifying power to increase accuracy. Way to go!!
Other way around. Target archers use scopes, hunters usually don't.
Wow! 100% increase in my bow skills! Wait, 100% times zero is still zero, phooey! Way cool Lilly!
They also make a attachment that stick to your bow to attach the rubber
Relax your grip on the release for better accuracy. I use the cobra wrist release because your arm does the draw and only one finger is used for trigger. Also you could try a different peep, the one I use is just a small circular with grooves on outside edge, no worries about peep twisting. Only drawback to this is that you will be replacing arrows because of hitting them with other arrows.
You could attach the peep to a limb clicker, then you would have a drawcheck as well. Not really my thing, ill stick to traditional, but glad you are having fun, that's what it's about.
I have mixed feelings about a hybrid bow.
But as always, thank you for your effort and have a great day!
Archers !
Get your bow turned. Have your arrows cut to proper length. Use a heavier points for weight forward of Center. Get a good quality tab. Be sure to draw the bow string between your eye and your nose nock point at the Conner of your mouth in the same spot each time. Point of your arrow under your aim point. Now learn to release straight back. Do not pluck the string let the shot surprise you! Enjoy!
At this point why don't you get a compound bow?
I was thinking the same thing
Compounds are nice, but more parts always means more chances for something to break or malfunction. She's all about survival, so if you want something dependable that's quicker and easier to fix, you use recurve.
@@roberthunter4884 I shoot both, of you keep maintenance up on your bows and take care of them they will both last a long time.
How is a recurve quicker?
Especially with what she's done it's the same set up without cams.
@@toyotarockcrawler but a recurve can be broken down and packed easily. Not so much a compound.
@@Yarbols not all recurves can be broken down. My compound is only 32 in end to end
Good tips Lilly. Try using a mechanics glove on Your shooting hand. That's what I use, and i don't like shooting without it. Thanks, and respect for all of the good work that You do for Our People. May The Most High Creator bless You with all that You need.
There should have been and anchor device with your peep sight. The tube that it came with should have been enough. Also a kisser button will help you anchor your shot in the same place every time. This will improve accuracy tremendously!
mlduckman 189 Agreed. Looked like the package was missing the anchor device that the other end of the tube should be fastened to. Shouldn’t need to add anything to the tube, and it looked like it was long enough in the video.
You have gotten me interested in recurve bows again. I have watched a number of your videos with your bows. You are really a good archer.
Love the video, trying to talk my daughter into taking archery lessons with me.You inspire me, Thanks!!!
Last time i had and used a bow was .... 35 years ago. I saw your favorites bow video and thought ..... OMG ... i used to love that. Now you've got me shopping for that Pretty natural wood bow you have, LOL. I cant wait to get back to practicing. Thank you for reminding me Lilly ... and i'll definitely check out your knife.
I agree it's beautiful.
compound archers have been using this stuff for absolutely decades. It's about time recurve archers caught up.
Get a sling for your wrist and rest the bow in your palm without gripping too tight .... Your pull to the right is from gripping too hard on the bow and twisting it to the right ... the longer you shoot the more prominent it becomes...You can see it if you watch your videos really closely. The sling will help you keep control of the bow after the release so if it falls from your palm you don't drop it. After you get used to not gripping so tight you will need it less. It definitely helped me with my accuracy and consistency when shooting long sessions.
Morning Lilly, beautiful bow. I bet the forest is real fun this time of year.
Why don't you use a compound bow if u want to be more accurate. Or a crossbow
Miss Lilly...you inspire me to be more. Your videos bring me great joy. Thank you!!!
Hi lilly you need to bring your nock up a little. It’s why your arrows are flying nock down. You can fit a clickerty clicker when is a draw check that attaches to your string.
Lilly, keep at don't let anyone try to fool you and say it isn't right to be shooting a recurve set up this way. This stuff isn't relatively new to archery. Bow sights and peep sights have been around along time. Even back during the late 50s and 60s i have number of archery catalogs from a number of different archery companies who offered both plus a number of different releases.. also they offer a stick on peep tubing adapter. You can get to put on the limb. That you push the peep tubing in to. Like you did with the peep itself.
🏹🎯
I am an archer with both the recurve and the compound.
At 20m with the training and skill you demonstrate you shouldn't have any problems getting into yellow, even without this solution.
But the thing that worries most is the stress of the clamp on the string at the moment of release, I think it breaks it after a while.
I shoot olympic recurve... I would not add a peep... and shoot with a finger tab .... but that’s just because I enjoy shooting like that.... there is absolutely nothing wrong with what you have done there.... but it’s just not for me! Thanks for the video... your enthusiasm is contagious!
Will be nice to have names and models of the equipment you use from bow to equipment. Including spine on arrows and brands
Recurve Archery is Finger release only, no peep sights and no multi pin sights. If you turned up to competition with that on your recurve you would be banned from competing. Freestyle compound will allow you to use these devices. Also use a bow stringer you are going to warp your limbs .
Hi Lilly ! Love Your Great Videos !!!
If you tighten your d loop down after straightening the peep. It shouldn't creep thus negating the need for the peep anchor.
Gauging different ranges/distances can be challenging even when sights are spot on I find. That’s an really great bow now lolly 👍
She's slowly turning her recurve bow to a compound and I love it.
A question I have is "how did you make your d-loop on your recurve?"
It's on her other videos
Another delightful video. Loved the forest and winter setting. Your enthusiasm for the peep sight is infectious. Keep testing more bits of gear even the tiny and expensive items. Love your videos!
Its all about your consistent form an muscle memory, the peep an sights will give you a better aiming point, but practice makes perfect, thx for the vid.
@michael Can you get close enough to a mountain sheep for a spear?
@michael That's on my bucket list for piggy's.
Hey sister, this is cool.
Some things to keep in mind is, with the release there is no sideways paradox. You should also change your rest so youre getting straight arrow flight.
Fantastic video, well done
Wow! Your groups are getting to "arrow-wrecking" close! Time to start shooting one arrow per dot and keep your arrows from colliding. Great job!
A bow string should not twist while being tensioned, so if you install the peep hole properly no string is needed to correct it.
yes if you never unstring the bow that will work, but I unstring my bows and then the peep would fall out
@@SurvivalLilly You are right to point out the difference. I was however referring to the elastic rope you attached between the string and the upper arm.
J'avais déjà eu cette idée, mais sans la pousser aussi loin. À la vue des résultats, j'ai bien envie de recommencer.
Bravo à lilly survival pour cette démonstration. Qui permet de voir qu'il faut tout essayer. Un grand merci
Guys chill, we all know you can hunt short distance with a recurve, the goal here is to make it easier. Like it or not adding sights will make anyone more accurate and that helps a ton when hunting especially small game
Great video ! I have a bow and now I want to try this setup
Hi Lilly. Very nice video and beautiful place!!!!
I think you should have gone with a modern compound. It will have a much shorter brace height and lighter to boot. Less vibration and easier to shoot and get accurate with. At the end of the day your recurve is almost as modern as a compound. I am partial to Hoyt. Give it a try, I think it may surprise you.
SO, if you used the Peep, do you think you could hunt rabbits?😎
Lily, you inspired me to get a traditional bow over compound. I’ve owned my bow for two days and I absolutely love. Now I just have to get all the sight attached to further drive my passion. It’s a lot harder then I expected but I’m in love. Any chance you can send me your sight specs?
Yeah me too. There are so many in the market and that one look simple.
Okay a couple things, It appears you are missing a part with your peep sight, there should have been a piece that sticks to the bow limb for the rubber tube to push onto, so you wouldn't need the extra rope. watching you shoot from the side you can see that you are drifting on some of your shots. In other words your arrow is coming forward before you release and sometimes you are not drifting, this will affect your accuracy. Shooting with a release requires that you keep back pressure to keep from drifting. On your video watch yourself when shooting from the side you will see what I mean. Love your videos.
I just took notice that when you opened the peep sight package I thought I saw something fall to the ground, was wondering if that was the piece that sticks to the bow limb.
like what you do - just did same thing - took rest, release and peep from compbound - but to further increase accuracy I am working on adding a clicker to make sure draw length at letoff keeps steady - should allow precision and nice grouping even at 70 or 90 meters distance
That's not a hybrid, that's a standard for recurve hunters here in Canada, but we clock our peep sights in the string so you don't need the rubber band/tube crap connected to the limb. I hunt both recurve and compound, I even have my late grandfather's crossbow that we got him for his 88th birthday after his shoulder surgery. Hunted with him till he passed at 98.
I got lucky in a used compound boy purchase, it came with a nice true-glow sight, a peep, a quiver mounted to the bow, and a box, all for $45 bucks at a local pawn shop, its a classic Hoyt compound, that looks like yer rambo bow except in camo. It works really well!
I have that same peep on my bow. Mine came with an small attachment that attached to the riser. The rubber tube then attaches to the peep and riser keeping the peep in alignment thus no need for the string.
Recurve bow are meant for finger shooting but it is impossible to score pinpoint accuracy all the time because the human body shake. Having a D loop attached and using a trigger release will no doubt improve accuracy but it is not meant to shoot that way. For compound bow YES, You do have good shooting form and that's what counts.
A peep helps depending on how consistent your anchor point is. Shooting a sight and trigger release you still need to have good form- don't anticipate when the release will fire, maintain back tension, don't let the bow move when you release. Keep working on your form- anchor point, back tension, etc.
I have one of those peep sights on my compound bow and after a few years the rubber tubing came off. I put it back on but it still frequently comes off. I should probably replace it. Another thing to watch out for is that you don't snag it on brush when walking though the woods. If you are hunter in thick forests I don't recommend it. I have also used regular peep sights and if you can get it aligned nicely it's great but setting it up takes a bit of trial and error. I shoot my recurve bare with a tab or shooting glove at the moment but I am always experimenting. A release, peep and sights would increase my accuracy no doubt but for me what's the point? I might as well just use my compound bow with all those gadgets.
This can be easily realized with those little press-on brass beads which are normally used as arrow nocking point. With that you don't need this rubber band thing to straighten the peep.
What improved my accuracy a lot was a different grip. By not grabbing the bow just holding it my arm doesnt shake at all. All I have to make sure is when i release the arrow i grab the bow because otherwise it flies out of my hand with the arrow
Use a kissing button for perfect repeatable anchoring .... and that tube on the peep should be all you need. It stretches There should have been an adhesive pad to anchor it to the bow.
I learned how to setup a bow from a world class shooter. He could split an arrow at 25 yards. I learned because I was working in a very large store many years ago. I setup many bows with a peep site. I will tell you that the proper way is to have someone observe your draw, and mark it. That way you can level the draw, mark it however the shooter desires, and properly place the nock or the loop. I don't recall ever using a rubber device to keep the peep straight, and I didn't have anyone come back to complain.
Effectively I was thinking the "D" loop was aligning the peep and the rubber band was only used on bows without the "D" loop.
