I like third method. I noticed more bow shops are doing this but only doing the wraps around the peep sight. I liked how you took this to another level getting a few wraps on the string as I have an issue with my peep sliding.
Dropped by again to say thank you for posting your video. I've been having a problem with my peep slowly moving up and down on the string which, of course, throws off accuracy over time. I used one of the methods in your video to retie in the peep and it is now rock solid. My groups no longer drift up and down. Thanks!!! The peep was originally tied in at a pro shop.
@@ArcheryTalkVideo only thing I would add would be a few serving wraps top and bottom for peep rotation alignment if it's just slights off when you tune the strings. That way you can slide them to get the peep to be perfect at full draw
There’s no right answer here. Depends mostly on the shooter. You need to experiment to see what works best for you. I’m usually about 6.5 inches above the D-loop, but yours is likely different.
I love that peep where it’s practically braided in with half hitches. That’s not going nowhere lol. My only thing is I can’t tie a half hitch without putting in a stopper knot!
A want you chose a video on what happens when you move the peep side up or down key future reserve you move it up I can you shoot further if you move it down question
It will throw off all your aiming pins. Moving the peep down will shorten your range, and moving it up will extend your range. (Assuming you don't move your pins)
I'm not sure I know the best answer for that. Personally, I like to have my scope centered in my peep at 30-35 yards. But who's to say if that's the best way.
Try it the second way but use a constictor knot around the peep. Then with the ends a half hitch above and below the peep on each side then burn....near impossible to move
No. I just kept it in the press to make recording easier. Really only need the press to install the peep. I normally tie the peeps in while the bow is hanging on a hook or something.
I managed to figure out what he was talking about when he was doing the second peep. But I do agree, some terminology definitions would be helpful for us newbies.
Haha..I was installing one the other day and thought to myself..."I wonder how many guys caught a flying peep to the face? "Like a big aluminum one or one of those big hamskea peeps lol
I use a technique very similar to #3. Works well, but like you say, those half hitches can be a pain to remove. Also, what's up with the red pants, blue shoes with yellow laces? My eyes are on fire :-)
I use 3 on all bows. I do 10 on each side then the last one is tightened over the bundle so it’s easier to burn down. Then when you wanna take it off take a pair of toenail clippers and clip the serving and it will unravel if you clip it right. I don’t like the second method cause it will slip up and peep can move. The first is ok but takes to long for me.
Larry brown Maybe I need to add a pair of nail clippers to my archery kit. I was thinking my bag wasn’t heavy enough. I’ve seen the first one where the serving is wrapped tight all the way down (rather than the 6 wraps I did). Haven’t tried it myself yet.
The first 2 methods are no longer accepted by the general archery community (especially archery talk forum) as good ways to tie in a peep. You should never tie towards the peep, when you squish those triangles down you cause the peep to rotate and can make it rotate more during the draw. Method 3 is a good one though or just tie a constrictor knot around the peep, that's all you need.
For years, specialty archery (with a youtube video linked on their website) has advocated either a clove hitch or constrictor knot around the peep housing and then just tuck 2 overhand knots (above and below peep) between string and peep on both sides and pull tight. I've never had a peep move doing that (I use the clove hitch because it is more compact and easy to tie). You can incorporate method 3 by finishing with several additional overhands. People think it looks fancy and very professional to serve it in though. One plus for not serving it in is that you can more easily cut it free and move it around when necessary.
I had a pro shop tie my peep and they hardly had it tied in, so I got a bow press, put my own peep in and served it completely with two strands of serving, it looks like my peep came as part of the string.
Levi Morgan does a better job of explaining how to serve your peep in. If it’s not done correctly you can get a peep rotation that is hard to correct with just twisting the bowstring. There is the correct way of doing this and it needs to be explained properly.
Yeah you did good showing the tieing for the most part but a little in depth would have been awesome. Like right from putting the bow in the press. Tips for positioning, how to avoid twisting or getting the right amount of twist. Measuring techniques to figure out where to even put it. Yes I'm in very new to bows lol Still appreciate your effort regardless
Sure don't keep it tight as you go. And shouldn't one securities serving before starting the wrap, on #1. And started on the wrong end against the pee instead of with it.
Ryan Willis It can definitely be better. My club’s bow press location makes getting good angles a bit tricky. Plus I’m not exactly an expert videographer. Kind of learning as I go.

I like the 3rd one. Great video, thank you
Great video. The easiest one to understand.
Thank you for posting this
Good Job. Thanks.
Thanks for sharing brother. I like the first method the best. God bless you and have a wonderful Easter.
guy at the range: "Bro, your bow has 3 peeps" 🤣
Really like that 3rd way. Gonna start using that myself
It's the easiest by far and holds super tight if you use a thinner serving.
@@ArcheryTalkVideo only thing I would add would be a few serving wraps top and bottom for peep rotation alignment if it's just slights off when you tune the strings. That way you can slide them to get the peep to be perfect at full draw
Thinner serving like size 0.16 ?
Thanks for sharing
Thank you 🙏 very nice
Trying to learn that back serving and your hand is exactly in the way.
I feel ya
Is brownell #4 nylon twice as thick in diameter as 2x serving thread or why are they called differently?
Whats the serving thread size your using?
Hi my friend - could You tell me, please at what distance from the middle of the string do you mount the Peep Sight? Thank You in advance.
There’s no right answer here. Depends mostly on the shooter. You need to experiment to see what works best for you. I’m usually about 6.5 inches above the D-loop, but yours is likely different.
@@ArcheryTalkVideo Thank You My Friend. Have a very happy time.
Correct way to tie a peep sight with tubing?
Do you have to use a special string?
I love that peep where it’s practically braided in with half hitches. That’s not going nowhere lol.
My only thing is I can’t tie a half hitch without putting in a stopper knot!
I have that same knife I think. Ka-bar mini Zombie kinda knife. Hard to get a good edge on it. The primary bevel is too chunky I think
Joe JoeLesh That recurve blade is not my favorite to sharpen. Switched to a Spyderco Delica for my quiver knife recently. Much better.

It will throw off all your aiming pins. Moving the peep down will shorten your range, and moving it up will extend your range. (Assuming you don't move your pins)
My bow shop uses method 3. I can easily move my peep up and down still
I bought a bow and everytime I pull it back the peep sight turns in a way that I can’t see through it. What’s up with that?thx
You need to twist your string. The string stretching a bit and then settles. Local bow shop can fix that
U have to wind ur top serving counter clockwise & bottom serving clockwise.
You put the peep in before the string settled in. It simply stretched, which changed the peep.
Well done. Could you do a video on setting the peep height when shooting different yardages? Say like 20 to 60yds when shooting 3d.
I'm not sure I know the best answer for that. Personally, I like to have my scope centered in my peep at 30-35 yards. But who's to say if that's the best way.
Try it the second way but use a constictor knot around the peep. Then with the ends a half hitch above and below the peep on each side then burn....near impossible to move
Or the third
I just used the first method for tieing in my other peep sight as the original sight was a 1/3 peep and I found it hard to find where I was aiming 😵💫
I got this done at a shop about a year ago and it got ripped a few days ago any tips to make it strong and last!!!
When you tie the peep sights does the bow always have to be in a press?with bow press where strings are loose
No. I just kept it in the press to make recording easier. Really only need the press to install the peep. I normally tie the peeps in while the bow is hanging on a hook or something.
i tried the third method and my peep is able to slip up and down still
im just gonna do some back serving... *proceeds to not explain what that is and blocks what is happening with his hand... very helpful

My bow shop used method 3. My peep is pretty easy to move up and down to adjust still and I have ridiculous peep twist

It if holds the peep, which it does, it's acceptable. All 3 are fine.
My God yall crybabys it works
Who gives a fk about the a holes at archery talk?
I use a similar technique as the first, but start at the peep. Tie the peep with two knots and go away from the peep on opposite sides...
I had a pro shop tie my peep and they hardly had it tied in, so I got a bow press, put my own peep in and served it completely with two strands of serving, it looks like my peep came as part of the string.

Are you trying to tell me that Levi Morgan knows more about bows than me? How dare you. You're right, of course. But still...how dare you.

Sure don't keep it tight as you go. And shouldn't one securities serving before starting the wrap, on #1. And started on the wrong end against the pee instead of with it.
messing around with such a large blade near your bowstring is just plain stupid. Should be obvious, dont do this. Use a small pair of sissors...
Thanks for the ad spam.
Sorry, but it is just confusing, frustrating waste of you time. My advise to everyone is to find a better source to learn from.
It was nice of you to say sorry before crapping on the video. Sorry you're confused by basic instruction. See how much nicer that was?
ArcheryTalk ignore that guy, it was a great video and great camera work!
Ryan Willis It can definitely be better. My club’s bow press location makes getting good angles a bit tricky. Plus I’m not exactly an expert videographer. Kind of learning as I go.
Archery beef
I found it easy to understand.
