Q: “Why is the String Splitter so large?”

A: The primary reason for the size of the String Splitter is to allow first and foremost 100% light transmission to the pupil of the eye. By allowing 100% light transmission, the eye is not forced to re-focus on the target. This allows for quicker target acquisition. The second reason for its size is peripheral vision, or being able to see up and down or left and right of the target. Having greater peripheral vision allows the shooter to see the entire target, not just a section. This is extremely important when shooting in low light conditions as to not shoot behind the wrong leg for instance.

Q: “It’s too big. You have to lose accuracy as compared to a hunting peep, right?”

A: Wrong. We have proven time and time again with numerous shooters that you will be just as accurate with a String Splitter as you are with any hunting peep, AND MORE ACCURATE THAN A HUNTING PEEP IN EXTREME LOW LIGHT CONDITIONS. In fact, most people can not believe just how accurate they can shoot with the String Splitter.

Q: “How much will the String Splitter slow my bow down?”

A: The String Splitter will only slow your bow down approximately 4 – 6 feet per second. The average hunting style peep sight will decrease bow speed by 4 – 6 feet per second, and some up to 8 feet per second.

Q: “Will the String Splitter make my string vibrate after the shot?”

A: No, you’re string will not increase in vibration or noise with the String Splitter. I was made to it’s maximum size without causing vibration or slowing down your arrow speed any more than a regular hunting style peep sight.

Q: “I wear eye glasses and have a hard time seeing through my peep. Will the String Splitter help?”

A: Yes. One of the biggest advantages to a shooter who wears corrective glasses is the large opening. It greatly reduces seeing the “frame” of the eyeglasses when trying to get the correct angle.

Q: “Will it change my draw length?”

A: The amount of string that is taken up by the String Splitter is so minimal, that you will never feel the difference to your current anchor spot.

Q: “What about the String Splitter coming around when I draw my bow back?”

A: First, because the field of view is so much larger than a hunting style peep, roll over is no where near as critical. So for instance, if you draw your bow back and the string rotates a full degree, you will see much less looking though a peep. More or less depending upon the size of the peep. However, this is not as critical with a String Splitter if the string does not come back perfectly. This is a huge advantage to hunters who’ve encountered this in the field. We recommend that when ever possible, the shooter replace their string with a good quality, pre-twisted, pre-stretched string such as Cedar Hill Archery Strings.

Q: “How do I tie the String Splitter in? Is there any thing special to do when installing?”

A: No, the String Splitter will tie in almost exactly like a regular peep sight. Just follow the instructions enclosed and you’ll be fine. If you’ve never had experience tying in a peep sight before, we recommend that you have it done by a Pro Shop. Installation Instructions
