Tying in a peep
 

Just put this link in another thread but thought it would be better off with it's own thread.

I use this method and the peep will not move even if you try and force it, it just wont budge.;)

Great link Russ! thanks.

This is how I have my peep tied in and I agree it works and looks very nice.

I am sure there is many ways to do it. Len showed us a different way a few weeks ago at his seminar. If I remember right, basically he lashed the two bundle of strings above and below the peep with one piece of serving. I would like to know his take on this method.

I personally like to be able to move my peep to make adjustments if I need to.

Paul.

I used to just tie above and below the peep for that very reason.

Then some Bass turd moved my peep at a tournement while my group was pulling our arrows not a big noticable move but enough to thow everything off.

I still do tie above and below untill I get the peep exactly where I want it then re-tie this way;)

RE: Tying in a peep
 

Oh thatsjust wrong. Did he admit this?

RE: Tying in a peep
 

No he never but at the next shoot one of the guys who wasin his group told me.

Some people will do anything to win. Once at a indoor shoot I had a clown move the windage on my scope 4 clicks, of course with any indoor even if you miss the x just oncethen your shoot is done.

I am just red in the face thinking about it. Glad your not in jail for assult and battery.

If I had of caught them I would be;)

I tie in above and below as well. When first setting up a bow I will tie in around the peep like the specialty video, but once I know it is where it should be I use about a 3 foot piece of serving material and tie in, then serve opposite sides of the string above and below the peep until the string halfs naturally come together, then backserve 4-5 turns, then trim and burn. It is important if serving above and below to serve the whole way to where the halfs come together, specialty peeps will sometime cut you string strands if you force the seperation together where it doesn't want to.

I do above and below because of what Ausie described. I have not had the peep moved on me in competition but I know those that have had this problem and I don't want it to happen to me. ;)

Edit - Here is a link that illustrates how I tie in a peep.

There are many ways to tie in peeps. Some ways are good, some are not.You have ways to tie them in so that they will move, and ways that they won't. You have tournament tie-ins and hunting tie-ins. If you don't tie it in tight enough, as with a peep with a tubing, it might creep up the string due to the pull by the tubing. Of course, the tubing really shouldn't be short enough to cause much tension.

The way I tie them in is the most cost effective way that I've found andgives the maximum amount of control while allowing the peep to be moved. The Archer's Choice way took over 3 minutes. Now allowing that it is a video where time was not critical, it probably takes from 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 minutes to do that serving. I've seen serving jobs take as much as 5 minutes. My method, which isVERY effective, takesfrom 30 to 45 seconds whether it's aTru-Peep style or tubing style.

Would you care to share it with us?

Thats pretty damn weak! I'd have lynched that S*B right then and there!

Talk about POOR SPORTSMANSHIP and lack of RESPECT for others.

He's a DISGRACE to archers and bowhunters everywhere!

It's nothing new. Back in the 80's - the days of brass pins and painted balls, for you young whippersnappers;) - some dingwad at a field archery tournament took a pair of pliers and bent my 20 pin just enough to throw me out of the 10 ring. Never did find out for true who dunnit, but I'm pretty certain of my suspicion.

Aussie, if you're absolutely sure who it is, please PM the guy's name to me. I'll make sure he never shoots at our club.

It's amazing how many ways there are to tie in a peep. Two of the bows I own had the peeps tied in already. Both are different. And neither are like themethods shown in this thread. I think the ones shown here are better since they anchor the peep very solidly from moving up and down - which neither of the methods used on the bows I bought were accomplishing.

One thing that plagues me with the peep tying, though . . . the darned peep sometimes wants to turn a bit after being tied in. It has a place it just wants to settle. Any tips on fixing this issue? Thanks. Roskoe.

RE: Tying in a peep
 

Roskoe.

Are you shooting the string in before installing the peep?

I usually put about 100 shots through the bow before installing the peep to settle the string in. After I have installed the peep I get no rotation of the peep and when it does start to rotate that tells me it is time to call gibblet and get a new string;)

RE: Tying in a peep
 

I've got a Winner's Choice string on my Hoyt that has had a couple thousand shots through it. After turkey season, I had the Limbsaver string leeches installed.This changed something in the string - the G5 peep now wants to cant to the right about 20 degrees. I can twist it back and it will stay for 10 or 12 shots. But eventually it wants to drift counter clockwise about 20 degrees. I can live with twisting it back, but would sure like to know if there is a cure - other than getting rid of the string leeches.

RE: Tying in a peep
 

roscoe, you can get a type of string silencer that goes around the string instead of thru it, or tie cat whiskers on, or add 1/2 twist to the bottom of your string - but you'll need a bowpress for it.
