Try it the second way but use a constictor knot around the peep. Then with the ends a half hitch above and below the peep on each side then burn....near impossible to move
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.
Larry brown Maybe I need to add a pair of nail clippers to my archery kit. I was thinking my bag wasn’t heavy enough. I’ve seen the first one where the serving is wrapped tight all the way down (rather than the 6 wraps I did). Haven’t tried it myself yet.
I managed to figure out what he was talking about when he was doing the second peep. But I do agree, some terminology definitions would be helpful for us newbies.
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.
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.
Ryan Willis It can definitely be better. My club’s bow press location makes getting good angles a bit tricky. Plus I’m not exactly an expert videographer. Kind of learning as I go.
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’ve not tried it myself. Could work. I find the narrower serving is much better for cinching down tighter. I used thicker serving fur the video to better show my work.
Sure don't keep it tight as you go. And shouldn't one securities serving before starting the wrap, on #1. And started on the wrong end against the pee instead of with it.
I love that peep where it’s practically braided in with half hitches. That’s not going nowhere lol. My only thing is I can’t tie a half hitch without putting in a stopper knot!
There’s no right answer here. Depends mostly on the shooter. You need to experiment to see what works best for you. I’m usually about 6.5 inches above the D-loop, but yours is likely different.
I had a pro shop tie my peep and they hardly had it tied in, so I got a bow press, put my own peep in and served it completely with two strands of serving, it looks like my peep came as part of the string.
A want you chose a video on what happens when you move the peep side up or down key future reserve you move it up I can you shoot further if you move it down question
It will throw off all your aiming pins. Moving the peep down will shorten your range, and moving it up will extend your range. (Assuming you don't move your pins)
I use a technique very similar to #3. Works well, but like you say, those half hitches can be a pain to remove. Also, what's up with the red pants, blue shoes with yellow laces? My eyes are on fire :-)
Levi Morgan does a better job of explaining how to serve your peep in. If it’s not done correctly you can get a peep rotation that is hard to correct with just twisting the bowstring. There is the correct way of doing this and it needs to be explained properly.
Yeah you did good showing the tieing for the most part but a little in depth would have been awesome. Like right from putting the bow in the press. Tips for positioning, how to avoid twisting or getting the right amount of twist. Measuring techniques to figure out where to even put it. Yes I'm in very new to bows lol Still appreciate your effort regardless
Haha..I was installing one the other day and thought to myself..."I wonder how many guys caught a flying peep to the face? "Like a big aluminum one or one of those big hamskea peeps lol
No. I just kept it in the press to make recording easier. Really only need the press to install the peep. I normally tie the peeps in while the bow is hanging on a hook or something.
I'm not sure I know the best answer for that. Personally, I like to have my scope centered in my peep at 30-35 yards. But who's to say if that's the best way.
@@ArcheryTalkVideo only thing I would add would be a few serving wraps top and bottom for peep rotation alignment if it's just slights off when you tune the strings. That way you can slide them to get the peep to be perfect at full draw
