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.
