Live and learn. I used to put in my own peeps with a little $5 tool that was non-abrasive. Itwould slip in between the strands to open up enough room to fit the peep.

i did that once, i screwed up big time with the first bow i ever had, a pse fire flight 33, i tried to instal some cat whiskers myself, but ended up cutting half of the strands, i learned from it though, i let the guy at the archery shop handle that now
