Well I have been going through cycling my bow string in so it stops rotating the peep. I was just reading another thread of "strings and cables" and was going to reply there, but I didn't want to hijack that thread. So I hope this helps...
I was wondering about custom stings. Is it worth it? I just put in a tru-peep, and am getting inconsitent rotations.
I assume that you have found and set your proper peep location.
Cycle your bow for at least 300 shots to wear the string in. If you are still getting rotation after the 300 shots and have the option of taking the string off, take off the string and twist it out one full turn. After this is done and you are still getting large rotation of the peep, try (depending on the bow you have, I just take off my string, use a bow press or however your bow can do it) to relieve string tension and move some strands of string to the opposite side of the direction of rotation. Once you have it that the peep doesn't rotate more than 10% tie the peep in.
Saving myself some time I am going to reference Bowwalkers knocking point article, it's the same technique; Click here. (http://www.huntingbc.ca/forum/showthread.php?t=11829) Just tie in some serving right above and below the peep, right at the point where the strings anchoring the peep meet. Once all of this is done tie the peep in itself by adding serving to the inside groove of the peep and tying it over the bowstring.
A proper set and tied in peep shouldn't rotate, and if it does it should reset itself at draw. If you don't like the thoughts of trusting it to rotate at draw, just twist it in location, and if tied and set this shouldn't be a problem for at least 50 shots.
I'll get some pics up soon enough... but it really is an easy enough process.
