    I currently have a peep sight with the rubber tubing and am wanting to change to a tubeless. Is there a way I can do this at home with out a bow press?

    It's best to take it to the shop. Moving a peep with the string under tension will most likely cut strands of your string. Not worth it.

    In the old days I would put a string separator in, remove the peep and put a new one it. Now days I use my press to remove pressure from the strings. I've seen too many cut strings from sliding peeps under pressure to risk it.

    Definitely worth having a bow shop do it if you don't have a press. Some places will do it for free if you buy the peep there if not they usually charge around 5 bucks here. Thats cheaper than a new string so the math is easy.

    If the strings are stock strings you might want to replace the peep when you add quality strings, otherwise your next post might about your peep rotating.
