Default RE: eliminating my peep sight

AAARGH! I AM AN IDIOT!

I got the No-Peep in yesterday and couldn't wait for Monday to have my pro-shop guy put it on. I mean, it isn't rocket science, right?

Well, I stripped out the damn screw hole in my riser. Now, I will either have to get it drilled and re-tapped or maybe use a longer screw and go all the way through the riser and put a nut on the other side. I bought some 1 and 1/4 inch machine screws that should be long enough. I guess I will try that first. I can't believe I did this to my #$*@#@ new bow! I am so beyond pissed at myself.

I didn't think I was putting so much torque on those screws (that hold the sight and no-peep brackets to the riser). It was WAY too easy to do. I don't know how these pro-shop guys tighten these things all the time without stripping them. My guy really looks like he puts muscle in to it. I just tightened with my little pocket allen tool and BAM, stipped right on out.
