tying in a peep

Anyone use braided fishing line to tie in a peep sight? Any other suggestions on what would work if I don't have access to the waxed dacron stuff that the shop uses?

I would go get some and dont recommend using braided fishing line. I have used the stuff on hunting trips and when I couldnt get any. What I found to work best is to take some chap stick or wax and put it on the string and then work the wax in to the string. You can also heat the wax up to work it in faster to the braid. Then I used the fishing line just like I normally would. I found that the bigger diameter works the best and I only used it temperarely until I could get the good stuff.

Waxed dental floss. I've used that many times for temp serving or adding knots to my knock point or tying in the peep.

I know people who use old bowstrings and dental floss on a regular basis- never heard of a problem with either. However, here you are typing your question on the internet saying you don't have access to small diameter serving string. Seems to me you could order some up today on that same internet and have it at your house in a couple days. Why not just do that? It's not very expensive...

Already done, just wanted to have something so I could shoot during the week it takes to get here.

      Don't take me wrong, I'm not anti-technology.  Battery powdered items will always have their place.  I'm mean you don't want your girl friend or wife in the bedroom playing for their gas powered adult toys!!  That would be a bit loud and smokey!

      That’s right. My 84 year old dad loves his electric chain saw. Light weight and quiet. Besides, at his age he’s not cutting a bunch. Where as myself I want something with more power and heavier duty.  Look at how many people have switched back to gasoline cars after running one in winter if you travel a lot.   As long as my strike master works I’ll keep using gas. Maybe my next will be electric, but who knows,  you can find used gas ones pretty reasonable as others buy electric.

      I think electric items have their places, I just don't think large commercial jobs are going to be able to work well with them. Can't see a logging crew out in the woods all day changing batteries!
