They will fix it but will charge you. I know it pisses them off to fix stuff when you didn't even buy the bow from them. Broken peep usually run you about $200 with labor

Hve you ever heard of "peep sight eliminators?" I have the "No-peep," but I can't find them for sale anymore. Cabelas used to carry them, and you can still read the reviews online. Cabelas Link

Here is a similar concept Peep Eliminator

I bought mine about 15 years ago after wanting to throw my old peep sight out of the stand at dusk. After using the No-peep, I will never go back to a conventional peep sight. If you read about them, you will follow the concept which is fairly simple - consistent anchor point, eye location, lines, etc.

was it served in? peeps are a breeze even without a bow press to get in. the getting them to line up when you draw is the trick. If it has tubing that isn't a problem. so here is how to put yours back in. If you have an old Bic pen that has the cap, it is the ticket. the part that clips to your shirt, insert it where you want the peep. when you have it in, turn it 90 degrees to open up the string. then you can get something bigger in (something flat, soft about 1/2" wide) stick that in and turn it. now the string should be separated enough to slide in the peep. put it where you want it and serve it in with dental floss.

note if you don't have a Bic pen top just find something shaped similar. or go buy one at office depot. I have used the one I have hundreds of times for string work.
