I use tubing, peep and kisser button on my setup.
I tried one of those peeps that doesn't require tubing and had problems with the spring blocking my view every once in awhile, so I went back to the tubing peep and have never had a problem with it.
I have found over the years that the tubing should be replaced every season, as it gets worn out with alot of practice shooting and hunting.
I am also more consistant with my shooting using the peep and the kisser combo.

Rubber tubing slows down a bow more than one would think, on average about 8 fps.... so factor that in with the ever constant chance of the rubber tubing breaking and smacking you in the face, no rubber tubing for me. No kisser button either, never had the need for one and it is just more speed robbing weight on the string.
I prefer just a simple peep like a G5 Meta.... lightest peep on the market at only 3 grains so you lose the least amount of speed and if you draw back and can't see through the peep that means your string has stretched and it needs to get to the shop to have some twists put in it. When the string stretches your bow loses performance cause the draw weight drops, brace height changes, ATA changes. ... ignoring it only leads to problems down the road.

pa speed isn't everything. it's nice and if you have your setup right it's great. but if you don't use mechanicals it may cause problems. my problem right now is the angle of my string doesn't give me the right angle to see out of the peep the right way, not a clear picture.

I too do not concern myself too much with speed.
Yes speed is nice, but without good shot placement and enough KE to make a clean kill, speed is useless.

75# Draw Weight..... 30" Draw Length... 430 grain arrow moving @ 300 fps= 86 lb. of KE ........ it'll take a Panzer Tank to stop my arrow lol
I know speed isn't everything, heck I choose to use a 430 grain arrow to hunt with and if I wanted to I could drop way down and still be above the 5 gpi rule. As a matter of fact though, I am thinking about switching back to 125 grain heads and bumping my arrow weight up to 455 grains. I am just blessed with a 30" draw length and the ability to pull heavy weight. Trust me guys, if shooting this fast cost me accuracy I'd change my set up to a slower rig in a heart beat. As I said, I am by no means a speed freak, I am just blessed. At least that's how I look at it.
Also, as far as broadhead flight goes, while I do stick some Rockets in the quiver, 99.9% of the time I'll be loading an arrow on my rest tipped with a Slick Trick and I am yet to find a set up these won't shoot like field points out of.

I like the G5 Meta peeps myself and dont use a kisser button have actually seen them come apart at the shot and hit the shooter in the face same with the spyders? If you use a good string like buck nasty, vapor trail or winners choice you should not have to worry about twist or stretch but use whatever works best for you that extra confidence in your gear goes along way!

have to try something different on the guardian. the short axle to axle and long draw the fine-line peep doesn't give me enough sight due to angle. will switch to rad peep it's made for short bows. hopefully will get better view of my pins.

I never used tubing, or anything that would slow my bow speed down. I learned at an early point when starting out in archery. I was taught that anything you add to a bowstring will not only slow your bow down but can be dangerous when something lets lose and smacks you in the eye. If you aren't aware I have my own bowstring business. I guarantee my strings will not stretch. That's your main problem when the peep starts rotating on you. Also my prices are way under my competitors prices. Just wanted you to know:-)

Been shooting for over 35 years and other than experimenting and playing around have never used a peep, one less thing to worry about in the field.
Kisser button to corner of mouth for a consistent anchor and string touches the tip of my nose for consistent head placement. Also allows me to shoot with both eyes open for better visibility and depth perception.
