i can give you tip #2.

do not try enlarging your peep w/ a drill while its on the bow.


there are a few of us on here (me, davec, and a couple others i think)
that could explain in minute detail to you why this is a bad idea.


tip #3: do not remove your old string w/ a pocket knife. yes it happened (not me).


LOLFor some reason I get the feeling you could play the part Chevy Chase did in his vaction movies.

Good idea......I always get into trouble doing that....[&:]

I was using an exacto knife to cut off the serving I had the peep tied in with, and I was being VERY careful....I didn't want to cut my string after all......Sheesh......Like I said, lesson #1 learned....and now through 4 apparently, thank you gibblet. Any more?

Good choice with your arrows...I think you'll like them. I shoot those them in the off season for target shooting and 3d and love them. As for the string I think TXjourney said it best.

That should make anyone rethink their decision. Order a set of strings from Gibblet and keep your factory strings for a back up if anything like this ever happens again.
