hey guys dan pickar here with easton's bow hunting journal and beyond the grid tv
today we're going to do a how to tie in your peep sight on any compound bow
while i have you here be sure you subscribe to the channel we do a ton of different bow
reviews and tips and tactics you don't want to miss out on make sure you hit that bell too so
you get your notifications all right the first thing i like to do is get some bowstring wax
and just kind of smear this on my string here where my serving is going to go
it's really important to tie in your peep sight this is the best way that i've found to do it
this is actually how levi morgan does it and i've been doing it like that ever since
and man it really just locks your peep sight in you don't want that ever moving and if it moves just a
little bit it can really throw you out of whack there so first thing i like to do wax that up a
little bit and then take some serving this is just generic nylon serving i'm not really a huge fan
of this stuff but it's just like a twist nylon so what i'll do is get like a two foot stretch
and i'll just burn a hole through it burn it in half that just alleviates any sort of fraying or
anything so i have a nice clean end so the first thing i'll do i've got the top of the bow here
and actually you know what i'll throw some wax on the string too that'll help a lot of serving does
come pre-wax but like i said this is kind of just generic stuff that doesn't have any wax on it so
that'll just help it slide around a little bit better all right the first thing i do is just
string this one end up through there and just kind of wedge it in there a little bit
make a wrap i just like to do one or two wraps i'll do two on this one and then take that tag
end and lay it over you're keeping it tight and i'll do two more while keeping that tension on
there get it nice and locked in and then tag end comes up and then i'll do one two three
and really suck that down there all right so my top end's really locked in there
i'm still holding it i'll do one more loop and i'm going through the split of my string now
and that kind of locks in that first stretch now we're going to do twists right up to the peep sight
one
two
three
four
okay this is a nice even spread on these wraps once you get them all in there then
you kind of pull them tight and that'll really suck them down and that wax really helps them
suck down a little bit we get to the edge of our peep now most peeps have this groove around them
this is a jim fletcher peep this is my favorite a peep to use has a nice groove and doesn't cut
your string so yeah it's my favorite do two wraps around the actual peep housing
pull that tight and then keep that same direction and we're gonna do the same amount of wraps down
this far side so on this near side i have one two three four that's kind of what it
took to get me here evenly spaced so we're gonna do four coming down this far side
two
three
four
okay we want this nice and even we want the same amount of string on each side so
it looks nice and uniform we're gonna really pull that tight and that wax
is gonna really help that serving pull tight and we're gonna do three wraps here two three
okay we're on the home stretch here looks nice and even on both sides i'm going to pull this up
like this got your tag end here and we're going to wrap the tag end in the opposite direction
of our initial wrap if that makes sense and we'll do three
four on the end there so i got three wraps up front four in the back lay the tag end
along your previous work and you're just wrapping down along that you don't want to really lock it
in quite yet because we're going to pull this through but it's nice and snug so there we go
we got four wraps in now we just have this loop to finish we're keeping the tension on all sides
and this is really going to slide down nice for us get your thumb out of there
you don't want to pull too tight if you have too wimpy a serving you can break it
but i'll just kind of work this and this will just suck down those last remaining wraps
once again it's really important to have that wax on there look how nice that sucked down in
there and this is a very clean way to tie in your peep now i'll get a knife okay so we have our tag
ends left of course we have this long piece at the end but that's okay i'll just cut and
leave maybe a quarter inch and just kind of fray that out and then do the same on the other side
don't cut your string now we're going to burn these um i never never come from below so you
don't want to heat your string up obviously heat rises so you want to come from above
and heat those tag ends and we're then we're going to press them down so we get down low okay that's
good and then we just put our finger on there and just make sure that nylon gets wrapped around
same on the other side get it right on down okay that's good don't want it to burn too
long we don't want to get too hot and look at that that came out super clean there you go
the best way to lock in your peep sight that is not going to move that's as solid as it gets so
hopefully you can do that too it takes a little practice but it's worth it to learn how to do it
