Default 5/16 peep sight?

Does anyone know where I could purchase a 5/16 peep sight? I don't want to buy G5's Meta™ Peep Sight because it doesn't have any rubber tubing to alignit with my sights.

If I use the Meta™ Peep... I'm afraid when my string stretches, thepeep won't align with my eye. [&:]

There are add ons that use the rubber tubing that you can use with your G5. Or at least there used to be. We used them with Tru Peeps. Don't they make them anymore. I couldn't find them online.

Didnt you mention replacing your strings? If your going to, a quality set of strings will align your peep every time.

Yes, I did mention replacing my string. I'm replacing it with Winners Choice BCY 8125. Do you think I would be "OK" using this string with the Meta™ Peep???

You could drill out a current peep, if you choose?

452X would be a better option, as opposed to 8125, if you're worried about string creep.
