Recommended Posts

well i read in a forum in deer hunting that most people like the .19 site pins but i was told for hunting that the .29 are better for low light hunbting conditions well i was wondering what size hole yall use for a peep i tried the big mega peep last year and i will defintely go back to a smaller one with the tube because i was having trouble with it not turning i was told that the smaller the hole the more accurate well i wonder what kind of combo it would be with the smallest peep hole and the.19 site pin just asking for a little help thanks

I use the G5 in the 1/4" also. I still like the .19 pins. If you get long enough fiber optic they still light up good. I have Fitz Fiber in about 8" lengths.

Funny you mention that.... I just bought my Katera and the bowshop wanted me to shoot at least 50 arrows before installing the peep.... While I was in the range he adjusted my sight accordingly and I was hitting the target fairly well without the peep.... ;)

In all reality, all a peep really does is verify your anchor point. If you can anchor consistently, you can shoot consistently without a peep. I can't...lol

I use G5 Meta's on all my bows. 1/4" for hunting, and 3/16" for 3D.

Your peep twisting, and not lining up at full draw is not a peep problem, it is a tuning problem. Your proshop should be able to twist the string to get your peep to line up without you needing a rubber tube peep. Peep misalignment is ussually a result of sting stretch/creep.

Only your eyes can determine if .019 or .029 is okay for hunting. The color is important also for low light. Yellow shines the most for me, so it's my 20 yd color. Then green at 30 and red at 40. As for the peep, I have mine drilled to 1/8" and with the draw and size of sight, the hole is aligned with my Spot-Hogg sight housing. A short ATA bow with a sharper string angle at full draw may require a different peep size vs. a long ATA that positions the peep closer to the eye.
