How I Tie In A Peep Sight

[@TheRealEricO]

During the editing I noticed I mess up the name of my knots. After I tie the constrictor knot on the peep I use a half hitch on the top and bottom of each side. Not an overhand knot. I am sure I misspoke on some other things too. 🤷🏼‍♂

[@gwbuilder5779]

Nice toby tape bandaid Eric!👌 So, up and over, around the race track a few times, drift around turn 4, and back slide across the finish line... TOUCH DOWN!!!! I mean BULLSEYE!!!!! Nice socks.🤙

I like the way you share your knowledge. Both on this channel and your main channel. You never claim to be THE expert. You put out the information, and if someone has a different way of doing things, you welcome their input. I think that's called sharing, but I could be wrong.

[@jlancaster7482]

I think I’ve watched hundreds of SMA videos, and you draw blood tying knots…Thanks for the info Mr. O!

[@TheRealEricO]

Dangerous stuff man haha

[@Coach_addis]

I know nothing about knots or archery, nor am i a hunter, but i love your videos and how you explain what you’re doing. Very interesting. One thing that could help is to explain, for us that don’t hunt, is what is a “peep” on your string… the purpose of it 👍👍👏❤️ thanks Mr. O

[@GrevilleRyan]

Mr 'O' all your videos teach something without being overbearing...I always enjoy watching your videos both here but also SMA channel...thank you

[@c0mputer]

After watching this I’ll get more bow hunting video recommendations. Like, no KZbin, I don’t care about bow hunting, I’m just here to hangout.

[@bobmcelver1484]

It's cool that you share the hobby videos as well in addition to the shop videos. I was going to do that with guns, reloading, bullet casting, swaging, etc., but as you well know, the YT goblins rise up against all that........for me, it was a hobby that became a career. Nice job Mr. O 👍

[@iamnoone.]

Don't have to apologize for your fingers because your a working man. If Mr O can do it, you can do it

[@nsbhagwat]

A hard working man.

[@meganluke444]

The knot at 10:00 started as a Lark's Head hitch followed by a series of doubled half hitches.

[@WhiteBuffalo59]

I was taught back in the early 1980's to use dental floss to tie in peep sights. Great content here, how times have changed.

[@simonilett998]

Very similar material by the looks, but I assume dental floss is much thinner.

[@TheRealEricO]

I use some BCY string called "mercury" and it is identical in feel and diameter to dental floss. The real smooth type of dental floss.

[@mrracer98]

Need some reloading videos!!!! Thanks Eric for all I have learned from you on the automotive side, and now bow stuff! ...which is also very useful.

[@kenwiggins2699]

I'm not into archery but the way you do it is interesting to me. Thanks Eric.

[@davidgriffin14]

I don't know anything about bows and arrows, but I find this fascinating.

[@robertgreer5229]

I love this, 2 things I do. Thank you for the info. Bow and working on vehicles. I found this channel a long time ago looking for brake replacement on my tundra . 😊 now I watch you religiously ! Awesome channel. 👍

[@cypeman8037]

Good knot, she'll never get out of that.

[@Roger21989]

You have a very calming and instructive voice, this with your common sense and integrity have made you a success! Keep up the good work Mr. O.

[@abw121]

I like they way you mounted your bow press to the top of a Harbor Freight roll about cart. Great height and plenty of storage drawers. Have a great winter project to copy.

[@TheRealEricO]

I did take the wheels off it to get it at the correct height. Works perfect!

[@thedogbarber]

Thanks popop! I'll remember this next time I need to perform this modification.....which will be....well, never. Lol Appreciate you and Mrs. O!

[@chuckgrenci6404]

Love the, no nonsense, this is how I do it video. I'm not an active archer (used to be when I was younger) but still find it fascinating to watch. Two thumbs up.

[@springfield4522]

If Mrs O doesnt complain about working mans hands on a video, neither will I.

[@mbtjr]

You're quite the boy scout, Eric lol

[@riverrat1149]

Clove Hitch with a twist very cool.

[@schifoso]

That was really interesting. I'd love to see how you do alignments on the peep.

[@jacobfoxworth]

Not sure about the finished knot, but the beginning part of that knot is called the cow hitch or larks head knot. Maybe it's some continuation of that knot. Anyway, don't worry about the hands man. Mine are just as bad. I broke my favorite coffee cup the other day cause my hands are so corroded I can't get a grip on anything anymore. Maybe I could get a hand transplant or something and they'd be functional and look good too. 😁🤣🤣

[@TheRealEricO]

I just call it a stack of half hitches :)

[@davidrush8283]

Thank you for your time.

[@SmittySmithsonite]

For some reason I can NEVER remember any knot shown to me. It's a wonder I know how to tie my shoes! 😁 Dad was in the Navy on the USS Constellation back in the day - he knows about 1,200 knots. I picked up ZERO. 🥴I can watch someone do it 1,000 times, think I got it, then when I pull, it all comes unglued! I learned to stick with nuts and bolts. 🤣 Hope you, Vanessa and the boys bag some bigguns out there! Good luck!! 👍😎👍

[@TheRealEricO]

I have a saying that you may like. If you can't tie a knot... Tie a lot!

[@SmittySmithsonite]

@@TheRealEricO HAHAHA! Lots of truth to that statement!! 😁

[@dB_944]

I don’t know much about knots, except I end up with fourteen knots every time I untie my shoes!! 😂

[@williamschmitz971]

ALWAYS cut towards your buddy! 😂

[@TheRealEricO]

I hear ya! I learned the hard way lol

[@joeythedime1838]

I am terrible with knots and watching you load up that bow in the previous video, jeez...I think I will stick with my Savage 30-06 Springfield.

[@Amritt_Poncho_Villa]

Thanks Eric, another great video! ; -)

[@TheRealEricO]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Allegany2010]

More great info, thanks!

[@dougmottert2258]

Great information .

[@jdjd0711]

neutrogena hand lotion! Not a sponsor. This stuff really works. I used it when I worked in auto parts. My son uses it and does fiber splicing. His hands were terrible before I got him some

[@rayleonard21]

Good info!!

[@tombruton6682]

Dude, you’re funny!!!

[@WilliamMulligan]

Your hands look like mine. Even down to the random blade cuts. But I'm not a hand modeller like you:-)

[@leslieguthrie6943]

Would like to see you cutting and making your arrows.

[@dB_944]

I bet Mrs. O can tie you up in knots! 😂

[@simonilett998]

I've always been interested in different types of knots (can't tie more than 3 of them) but now I'm quite curious what a peep is and what it's purpose is? (I only did archery a few times as a kid, now 49)🤣👍

[@timscanlan1466]

Hey, if you want to come to Boston and help me tie my fishing flies, I'll treat you to all the lobster you can eat

[@whatdoyouthinktodd]

So I think he's trying to tell you with a constrictor knot. Don't tie it around that coworker's neck that you can't stand. Oh and by the way I like your fingernails. They're rugged, tough and gnarly just like a real teddy bear. All funny business aside. We all were created equal. We all were created different.

[@farmcentralohio]

Now I have to look up minus 33 socks for some reason

[@TheRealEricO]

I tell you what. They are the only socks I wear in the winter and will not trade them for anything!

[@whatdoyouthinktodd]

Pop Pop aka Mr. Constrictor

[@jimforsyth2.]

Do a home shop video

[@kartracer5g229]

Looks like a clove hitch with a half hitch twisted into it ... but I know clove hitches are a great knot for a lot of different situations so I can see the reasoning behind using it to keep the peep in place... 1 question does mrs.o use a magnified peep to see easier ?

[@TheRealEricO]

Yes that is basically what it is. Very similar to the clove hitch. Shee shoots with a 6x lens and a clarifier in the peep

[@inspector8572]

Pretty sure that series of overhand knots is called a Sheep Shank

[@douglasthompson2740]

Have you noticed how razor blades and Xacto knife blades are getting duller and duller right out of the box?? Forget about utility blades, might as well use the back side of a single bit axe.

[@dB_944]

What is it with mechanics and razor blades?

[@23Skadoosh]

Where my peeps at?

[@TargaWheels]

That's "knot" how you do it. 😁

[@Deke1]

I think he's "stringing" us along

[@abw121]

Forget the bad looking fingers! Look at the giant feet in socks he has? See nobody cares! But Eric O is pretty good as a all around good guy…… super duper simple?

[@jerrycunningham5608]

I don't understand why the peep sight looks like it's tied in at a 45° angle, does it straighten up to line of sight when you draw the bow?

[@jerrycunningham5608]

By the way I'm never shot a bow, that could be your problem lady!!!

[@TheRealEricO]

When you draw the bow your sting is on an angle ;-)

[@jerrycunningham5608]

@@TheRealEricO now that I think about it of course it is.

You broke the cardinal rule, cut towards your buddy not your body lol

[@johnmeyer6537]

great video. coming up next, how to set the peep sight height. do you reload your own cartridges also? would love to see a video on that as well.

[@TheRealEricO]

Oh yeah I do all my own reloading. You have to in NY because you can't buy ammo unless you drive to PA

[@johnmeyer6537]

@@TheRealEricOyou can own a gun, shoot a gun but can't buy ammo. that makes about no sense at all. I have not owned a cartridge style rifle since the 70s. but looking to purchasing one. where I hunt in Missouri I always used a bow or a muzzleloader. getting too old for that now.
