ok where does every one tie their peeps in, and if you use a tied on loop do you tie it on above and below the nock or do you go just below the nock

 

[AKDoug]

I tie mine with a shorted served section above and below. I then take a couple wraps around the peep and tie it in with a melted square knot. I tried the continuous serving method, but it makes it a bugger to adjust if you need to.

Are you asking about tying in peep sights or tying on d-loops? The bit about the nock has me confused.

I tie my peep in by doing six knots above and then six knots below. The same way I'd tie on a nocking point.

 

[3dsteve]

both how faw from loop is your peep and how do you tie on your loop above and below your arrow nock or just below like eric griggs uses

Peep to loop distance is highly personal. There is no right answer because it depends on how you anchor, the distance from your anchor to the center of the eye, and the brace height and axle to axle length of your bow.

I tie my D loops with a knot under and above the nock. Next week when my Beiter nocks get here I am going to try the D-loop under the nock way.

The peep should be tied in at a height which naturally aligns with your eye so that when you come to full draw and anchor you are automatically looking straight through the peep with no adjusting yourself to get aligned.

I think most people use a D-loop tied above and below the nock. the majority of variation lies in whether there is a nockset between the D-loop and nock.

thanks and keep them coming

Steve.. the peep should be set so that you do not have to adjust your head or change you focus on the target to see thorugh it... I do this by closing my eyes and drawing on a target at my adverage shooting distance. Then opening my eyes, I should see clearly through the peep... if not I move it.

For indoor I set it at 20 yards (of course) For field I set it at 45 yards... about the adverage shot taken in a field round...

I find that if I close my eyes at full draw, then open my peep eye without moving my head, and have someone move it up or down so that I get centered view without moving my head, I am as perfect as this old blind man will ever get.

As for my D-loop. When I use a trigger release I tie the loop above and below the nock. Experimenting with this method led me to tie a serving nock set above the nock so that I had a little room until the string was drawn.

When I use my BT, I tie my D-loop completely below the arrow nock, and tie a serving nock set above the nock. The reason some of us tie the D-loop completely below is because it gets the loop narrow. When we bring our hand back with the BT, we rotate our hand so the knuckles are against our face. A narrow loop twist easier without torquing the string as much.

I like to set my peep while aiming at a 40 yard target, ~~Reason being~~ I need to hit that 40yd 3d target and it much harder, so I want my form even better while shooting longer shots..Feeling good while aiming at a long shoot sure helps the mental game strut tall and feel good.

serving top & bottle of a D-loop is bad, The top needs to be free to move and not pinch the nock. lots of people have problems keeping there arrow on the rest doing both..I only tie the inside bottom, That's all you need and way add what you don't need???

i was thinking of trying the loop below the nock but i think it will force me to lower my scope too much preventing the long shots needed for feild shoots
