Another great tip. Exactly how I tie in a peep. Recently swapped out a peep and it was super easy doing it this way. Making sure the peep doesn't move is critical to accuracy, and it keeps the install safe. I like to measure the distance from the top of the d loop to the peep to ensure it's a similar distance with similar ATA bows so I have a good starting point for consistent placement.

I like it a lot. I recently replaced my string and had to re-install the peep. Since it has been a while I looked at a few videos to refresh and seems like pretty much everyone is doing it the same away coming up one side of the string and down the other...which is fine. But I did not really like the way the peep itself was secured using that method. I am sure it's fine, but when you come off the string to wrap the peep it seems like it has more potential to unravel and like you showed here, it's a pain having to do the entire process again if you want to change or try different peeps. I was wondering if anyone just tied the peep on it's own and came across this video. SO now I am more confident it's the way to go. Enjoy all your videos and pretty much setup my bow(s) using the methods you outline. Well done !!

Awesome. The way you explained it makes a lot of sense. This way makes it a lot easier to address many of the issues that arise from string movement. I will be tying my peeps like this from now on. Thank you.

Thanks for your videos. They always help me improve my archery experience!

Thanks for the coaching and advice!

Thanks John, for the heads up on Safety on the peep sight. 👊

Nice method,.going to do this on my next change.

John i really like your new videos style… short direct videos

Yep, keep it simple and save! Not as cool as other, but effective.

Went from 3/16 to 7/32 because of light conditions elk hunting, wondered where I got that simple tie end from, now I know, thanks.

you like it better than the 3/16?

I like how you mark the top and bottom of the peep. But even if it's off a 1/32" how big of effect will that actually have? I'm new and working on techniques and groups. Can you give some guidance on what is a "good" group based on different experience levels?

Truth, I had a peep sight come out on me and hit me right between the eyes. Had it hit my eye I would be blind for sure, tie those suckers in tight!

5:12 By "string twist" do you mean swapping strands in either side of the peepv to incrementally adjust peep rotation relative to the string? Just want to make sure I understand correctly.

I like the way you tie your peep but I've always used one length of material to tie in the peep. I start at the top or bottom and run down the string, around the peep and finish at the opposite end. My concern with your method of tying in the peep is movement of the top and bottom section. Is this something I need to be concerned with?

This is my concern as well. The single piece certainly locks it in securely. But I'm thinking his way might lend itself to quicker/easier adjustment of rotation. I always use the method of swapping strands on either side of the peep to fine-tune rotational position. I'm thinking this way might make that a lot easier, as it wouldn't require re-tying the peep to the string, except for the piece tied around the peep itself. I'll have to experiment.

If it’s tight, no.

I also tie pip. But first I do serving on both branches of the bowstring, No one does that, but in vain- this weak spot on the bowstring needs protection and this prolongs its service life.

Shoot I will never tie a peep in any other way the peep is rock solid too. I slid back the top and bottom knots and saw able to switch a peep without a press.

To compensate for light conditions, couldn’t you just change the aperture in the peep?

@@98blower17 shhh Bow hunters would go crazy if they could see the deer clearly without a big green fuzzy star in their vision.

Why does my bow tech refuse to tie above and below my peep? He just ties the peep around itself. 3 years in a row now Ive dealt with peep twist and he always tells me to come back to have it adjusted after the string has settled but by that time its towards the end of summer and he doesn't have enough time to fix it for me due to the hunting season right around the corner. So I decided to have him put an after market pre-stung string on it and he said I wont have that problem anymore....Its worse now that it has ever been...the peep literally twist 90 degrees every draw. There is like maybe 5 bow shops in north eastern Illinois and trying to throw money at any of them to have any quick fix is a waist of time...guess this is just how it is if you live in my area lol.

The best thing I did was buy a press and learn to do basic work on my bow. I live in the middle of nowhere in Maine and driving multiple hours to get to a shop with a so so tech convinced me that it was worth my $$ and time. Good luck sorting it out.

@@glenncharles6622100% agree, I feel like after a couple of years of setting up my own tuning tools such as a press,vise, draw board and paper tuning setup I can dial my bow in just as well if not better than a lot of techs at shops I’d need to drive a minimum of 2 hours too. I figure the savings of gas money and cost of a shop doing the work has paid for the equipment I’ve purchased and the knowledge and experience gained along with just knowing nobody else is messing with my bow is definitely worth it.

Why not just run the tried and true hooded specialty peep so you can use apertures , verifiers , or clarifiers ? Never was a fan of being stuck with just one size hole !

There is better way to tie peep..
