I agree with those who' ve said to have a shop install a peep... at least the first time. But eventually you should get a press and start doing some of your own work. (Pro shops aren' t always open and/or nearby where I live.) Plus you might need to do a little tweaking as the string stretches, install silencers, etc. Even though I eventually bought a full-size press, for many years I got by with a $40 Bowmaster portable.
