I went to targeteers. But then again, I bought a new one from them and they installed it for me. __________________ It isn't the catch or the kill that makes for a great outdoor experience but enjoying all that God has created for us.

There is a plastic tool they sell to open the threads of the string without cuting into them, All you do is lower the poundage of the bow, install peep then crank it back up. Just remember how many turns you cranked down. __________________ The 4 seasons - Almost Summer, Summer, Still Summer and Hunting Season

Its very easy.
PEEP SIGHTS Proper setup on a peep sight is one of the easiest and most overlooked aspects of bow tuning. Using a string separator or bow press, install the peep into the string, but do not tie it into place. Then, with an arrow on the string and pointed safely downrange, draw the bow and come to a comfortable anchor with your eyes closed. When you open your eyes you should be able to see through the peep without moving your anchor or the bow. If you cannot, let down, adjust the peep and redraw the bow with your eyes closed. When you can draw, anchor and see through your peep without changing your anchor, tie the peep solidly into place. I prefer to use dental floss to tie in the peep sight. It is lighter than serving material and is less likely to slip--two important advantages. Never shoot a bow without tying the peep into place. The oscillations of the string could propel a loose peep sight back into your eye. Safety glasses should always be worn when adjusting a peep sight. __________________ PSE '08 ThunderBolt X

Had the same thing happen to me.. Bought a "bowmaster" portable bowpress from Cabela's for around 30 beans. Re-peeped, and since then I've used the press to do fine tuning on several buddies bows when needed. It's a lifesaver in the truck, and stores away nice and compact. __________________ "Rednecks, white socks and Blue Ribbon Beer."

| Need two people, one holds bow at full draw, the other replaces the peep. Holding weight is less than half of draw weight. Piece of cake! | ||
