    The Latex Tubing on my peep sight snapped and is wore down in more than one spot. I have new tubing for the sight but I dont know the knot to tie on the string. Does anyone know where I can find a diagram for the knot or maybe explain to me how its tied. Thanks

    Or you could get rid of that tube and tie on a loop.

    I think he meant a tubeless peep sight. That is a peep sight that doesn't use a tube to line it up at full draw.

    Some folks use a D loop to rid themselves of the tube. They spin the knots on the loop, somtimes 180*, so that when they draw the string it opens the peep up. I'm not a fan, at all. I like everything to be nice and straight, all the time. I shouldn't have tol use a rope loop to pull my peep around.

    To tie the knot......Around the string, over the string and tube (will form an "X" on top of the string), around the string and under the "X".....Sounds tough but it's not.

    I think I may have figured it out. It doesnt make an X but It looks close. Thanks for the help.
