    Took a chance and with the help of a youtube video tied my first d loop yesterday. It was long at first so I trimmed it down shot 40 or 50 arrows, so far ok. Was nervous at first so I through on my old arm guard, just in case.
    Found a length of the loop material on e bay. Have new peep tubing coming next.

    It's pretty satisfying working on your own bow. Good job buddy! Depending on the type of bow you have you could tie in the peep yourself, without using a press. Youtube is a WONDERFUL resource for learning to be your own Bowtech. My Admiral doesn't require a press at all. I just have to back out the limbs if I want to work on the cables, or go to full draw on my bow and have my wife or a helper put an Allen wrench in between my cam and the limb to stop ir from going forward. Then I can work on my string.

    Thanks. Just need a new tube for the peep for now. The old one has broke a time or two and is stretched thin, don't need it breaking during the hunt. Safe shooting.

    Why not just get a tubeless peep and learn how to install it? Hate the tube peeps.

    I had a tube peep but about the 15th or 20th time it popped off and hit me in the face I got a meta peep. Pine Ridge has some great tubes they are made out of silicone so they are resistant to sunlight and dry rot.

    If your replacing a busted peep tube, you might just want to order 2 so you have a spare in hand.
    I've been learning to work on mine for the simple fact that I'm a pain in the *** and can't stand " Good enough" .
    I learned to work on my guns, might as well
    do my bow too.
