Thread: Hawkes Bay Archers? Peep sight fitting help required

I recently got a new to me but secondhand compound bow. Reasonably good bow I think, I've never used a compound bow before but watched lots of your tube videos. I was having my first tutu in the backyard and it was actually pretty accurate I thought but after about 6 shots the peep sight has disappeared. It was there one shot and gone the next.

I don't have a bow press or the know how to reinstall one, is there someone or somewhere in the Hawkes Bay that anyone can recommend to fix it?

Theres a guy in havelock north selling archery gear, think he's got a press. search face book for archery hawkes bay or hawkes bay archery, something like that anyway

I recently purchased my compound setup from there. They were very helpfull.( Not just a sports shop).
They have all the gear and take the time to help.

You don't need a bow press to tie in a peep sight - but a string separator is extremely useful: https://shop.bohning.com/string-separator/

I like to maintain the compound myself so it's worth looking up on youtube..... It's likely the previous owner did not tie the peep in. If it's tied in properly, it's very unlikely to be going anywhere.
Tons of tutorials on Youtube on this topic.
