Anyone else notice that the first method for fixing peep rotation, the tie method, they specifically tie in 2 different directions to AVOID changing the peep rotation? I tried tying in the same direction and it doesn't actually change the peep rotation. It is simply the act of tightening the knot above the peep that causes some rotation, and tightening the know below the peep that undoes that rotation to balance it out. This is because the string above the peep is off center due to twist and pulls off center as you tighten, and the string on the bottom is off center in the opposite direction and pulls back as you tighten. You COULD try and tie the knots an unequal distance from the peep to create some small amount of rotation to fix a peep rotation. however, tying the peep like this doesn't actually correct peep rotation as suggested in the video.
My peep is way too high now (went to get it "fixed", it's not fixed). If move it down it is just way off. Can I use these methods to fix it? Im kinda new to this, lotta stuff to learn.
My old bow had a peep on it that was bigger than just a ring, and it had a rubber surgical tied to one of the cables I believe that would keep it from rotating. Are these common anymore?
Some suppliers told me that BOWS are sold "naked", meaning....it is NOT sold COMPLETE with Release, Balancing weight, Sight glass, stand, etc...etc. (except for the tommy sight scope). Please confirm...., anyone. TQ
Yes most top of the line will come like you mentioned naked, however there are some bow companys that offer package bow that comes with almost everything you need, only thing you'd need to do is tie peep and adjust draw and lbs
Thanks for the video! Peep twist wasn't a problem last year's deer season. I'm not a year round bow guy, it's been sitting for about 8 months. Peep twist is a major issue now. I need to get it fixed properly but your video gave me some at home fixes to keep me shooting until I get it to a shop. Thanks again.
Thanks for the knowledge Bro!! I've been jacking with my peep for a couple weeks now and I could get it to work for a short while but that was it. Thanks again
Thanks for the vid. Absolutely fixed my peep rotation issue. Folks, if you can't figure out the parts of the vid that are obscured by the hands then archery isn't for you. What he's doing is pulling down the thread on the edges of the peep so the thread is wedged between bow string and peep. Then wraps on the peep and then down the other side. Straightforward stuff. If you don't get it, reference the Specialty Archery vid on peep install.
So, you are the guy making the rules as to who can participate in Archery? Not everyone wants to be a bow mechanic. Following your logic if you can't replace your car alternator, then "owning a car isn't for you"?
Hi Bill. No, I don't make the rules. It's not about being a bow mechanic, rather, it's about that fact that archery is not a 1-2-3 by the numbers gig. It's as much about experimentation and discovery by the archery about what works for them or otherwise and self-development as it is about technique - be it tying in a peep to repeatable form. The point being, if you're not able to get enough info from a vid like this to figure the rest out yourself you will be finding much harder aspects of archery very difficult.
Or maybe people want to see exactly what he's doing on an INSTRUCTIONAL VIDEO. If your going to do an instructional video everything should be in plain sight
Why do you need to watch his hand? Watch what the serving is doing on the string. If you don't know how to serve, by all means, check out another video. This is how to straighten your peep, not how to serve your string.
Hi I notice when I correct set a pip-sight at home and I went to shooting range pip rotating. From my observations the reason of this is ambient temperature because when I return to home everything is ok. My bow is carbon icon. Is anybody has similar problem??
