    I like third method. I noticed more bow shops are doing this but only doing the wraps around the peep sight. I liked how you took this to another level getting a few wraps on the string as I have an issue with my peep sliding.

    Dropped by again to say thank you for posting your video. I've been having a problem with my peep slowly moving up and down on the string which, of course, throws off accuracy over time. I used one of the methods in your video to retie in the peep and it is now rock solid. My groups no longer drift up and down. Thanks!!! The peep was originally tied in at a pro shop.

    I use 3 on all bows. I do 10 on each side then the last one is tightened over the bundle so it’s easier to burn down. Then when you wanna take it off take a pair of toenail clippers and clip the serving and it will unravel if you clip it right. I don’t like the second method cause it will slip up and peep can move. The first is ok but takes to long for me.

    The first 2 methods are no longer accepted by the general archery community (especially archery talk forum) as good ways to tie in a peep. You should never tie towards the peep, when you squish those triangles down you cause the peep to rotate and can make it rotate more during the draw. Method 3 is a good one though or just tie a constrictor knot around the peep, that's all you need.

  • @MrShysterme

    @MrShysterme

    For years, specialty archery (with a youtube video linked on their website) has advocated either a clove hitch or constrictor knot around the peep housing and then just tuck 2 overhand knots (above and below peep) between string and peep on both sides and pull tight. I've never had a peep move doing that (I use the clove hitch because it is more compact and easy to tie). You can incorporate method 3 by finishing with several additional overhands. People think it looks fancy and very professional to serve it in though. One plus for not serving it in is that you can more easily cut it free and move it around when necessary.
