    Well you could re-serve it. If you dont know how to do that just put a dab of superglue on it.

      Or hot glue would work

        You can also heat the loose serving with a lighter and then smash the melted blob into the serving.

          Super glue is out of the question already had to get a new set of strings because of a dumbass idea. What do you reccomend for serving?

            Dental floss would probably work as temporary solution.

                Braided fishing line, floss. If it is just on the peep you will be fine until you can get it to someone. Lots of people shoot without their peep being tied in.

                  Serving is just heavy nylon thread. You can buy serving at academy. Or you can buy upholstery thread at walmart for 2.50. It is 100% nylon and fairly heavy.

                    Yeah think mine is gonna have to be served in now... Decided to try out my new lumenoks before I tied in my peep and moved everything around. Yeah it came completely out of the string on the first shot. Guess its time to find some floss and an Allen wrench

                        If you don't have a serving tool, use braided fishing line or even dental floss like mentioned above. Tie an overhand knot, then another overhand knot on the other side of the string and repeat 4-5 times. Tie a square knot and you are done - works just as well as a peep that is served in.
