Default 5/16 inch peep?

Does anyone make a 5/16 inch or slightly biggerpeep sight? If you feel like hearing why I'm asking this read on.

My shootingpreference combined with draw length and anchor pointswont allow a full view ofmy circular cobra pin sight. Simply put, I don't position my eye close enough to the peep to view the pin sight in full. I'm alot more comfortable positioning my head and thus eye further back. Because of this I decided to drill out the 1/4 inch peep a little bit more. At 19/64 I'd just abouthit the string that is of course looped around the peep. And as you can imagine, I'm not steady enough with a hand held drill to produce a perfect hole.However, it works because I was grouping much better thanprior whenthe peep was still 1/4 inch.5/16 is a 64th bigger than the 19/64 I'm currently at now andwould probably be the perfect size for my application. So, is 1/4 pretty much the biggest peep on the market?

THANKS

Default RE: 5/32 inch peep?

See if I can get this right. Specialty Archery Super Peep/3D kit. The peep itself is 1/4", threaded for different inserts they make. The kit has inserts from about 3/64" on the small side up to 3/16". Use no insert and you have a hole 1/4". This is what I use on my hunting bow, smaller inserts for 3D and targets. This is a no-tube peep.

They also make one with a tube that is larger, but still takes the inserts.

Does this help?

If that larger peep you're refering to is bigger than 1/4 then yes. Well, actually, it would have to be at least5/16 or just a hair bigger to work. Do you or anyone know if any manufacturer makes a 5/16 peep?
