Default RE: Peep and Kisser Tying???

I make my own strings so I allways have material handy which you will have to obtain if you' re going to do it your self. On a kisser I just use an eliminator button and get it in the right spot then start about 3/8 of an inch below the button and start with about a 24 inch piece of serving. I use .018 Brownell Daimondback and wrap it on by hand over the 3 inch tag end from the start. Wrap up to the button, then cross over to the other side of the button on the inside of the string and continue wrapping for about 9 or 10 wraps. I then use about a 20 inch piece of string material that I allready have cut and waiting to form a loop in the middle. Place the loop on the string and serve over the loop another 9 or 10 wraps then place the end of the serving through the loop and then, while holding the serving in place, pull the loop through the served area to pull the tag end of your serving thread under the served area. Pull the serving tight and then trim it back to about 3/16 of an inch long then finish it by melting the end down tight to the serving
On a peep sight, I usually start with about 3/4 of an inch of serving and pass the serving thread through the separated opening twice above and below the peep and then continue for about 3/4 of an inch on the other side of the peep. Use the loop method to finish off and melt the end tight[:-]
