Install peep sight bow string

Professionals who know what a peep sight is and how to install it utilize the tag to remove or change peeps without losing the center of the bundle. When everything is all set, you can take it out for good. There are many ways to tie in peep sights after installing, but we like to keep it simple. If the peep is tied in with numerous knots and wraps, it may take a while to undo. Something simple like 4 Nylon served in with 15 wraps top and bottom will sufficiently secure your peep.

Make sure your top and bottom knots are equidistant to the peep or it may want to wiggle a little. Now shoot the bow a couple of times and check your alignment. One complete twist of degrees will give you a degree turn in peep sight.

Depending upon the required turn, you may twist the bowstring to get the peep sight to position it correctly with the line of sight. Repeat this process till you get the accurate and desired position of a peep sight. Your D-loop should be aligned with the peep sight. When you have finally got a properly positioned peep sight, you need to ensure it stays there fixed.

You need to tie stop knots above and below the peep tight so that it does not move when shooting. You can tie the knot by releasing some tension off the string on a bow press. When you want to improve your shooting skins, peep sight helps you a lot. You might have difficulty in shooting with peep sight initially but it enables you to make a consistent anchoring in the long run.

When your anchoring has improved and becomes consistent, you can start shooting without a peep sight. Some did not feel the necessity of a peep sight as it blocks their anchor and the light passing through the peep sight is not good enough to view. This will leave 3 tie in points: below, around the peep sight, and above. With knots only above and below the peep, you can realign the peep by simply pressing the bow and then correct the alignment.

Determine peep sight location. Lift the tail of thread out of the way this time instead of wrapping over it. After going around both threads of the bowstring 4 times, pull the wraps tight with pliers again. Aim to get as close to the peep as you can while still being able to cinch both strands of the bowstring together with the wraps of string. Run the string to the other side of the peep and make 2 tight wraps. Pull the string taut and run it past the peep and to the other side—above the peep if you started wrapping below it, or vice versa.

Make one wrap around a single bowstring thread on this other side of the peep. Then, make a single wrap around both bowstring threads and pull the wraps tight. That is, if the wraps got to within 0.

Keep wrapping and pulling until the wraps on both sides of the peep are equal. As before, make 4 wraps around both threads, pull them tight with pliers, and repeat. Tie your preferred secure knot with the remaining length of string. Part 4. Trim both free ends of the serving string to 0. Use either sharp scissors or a razor blade for the job. Apply super glue to the serving string stubs for a quick seal. There are 2 options here—gluing the stubs or melting them—and gluing is a bit easier.

Work carefully so that you apply just a single drop right where each stub meets the wraps of string. Let the glue dry for the product's recommended drying time often around minutes before proceeding. A typical small squeeze bottle of super glue, which you can get from a wide range of retail outlets, is fine for this application. Gluing the stubs gets the job done, but melting them in place looks more professional.

Carefully position the lighter so that the flame just barely laps at one of the stubs. Pull the lighter away once you see the synthetic material that makes up the stub start to deform, wait 2 seconds, then use your finger to squash the stub down against the wraps of string. Repeat with the other stub. Release the tension and remove your bow from the bow press. If you turned a wheel clockwise to tighten the press against your bow, turn the wheel counterclockwise to free your bow from the press.

Otherwise, follow the specific product instructions for your model of bow press. If, for example, you made 2 full counterclockwise turns at the end of each bow arm previously, make 2 full clockwise turns of the allen wrench at the end of each bow arm now.
