Default Peep sight recommendations

I am going to go tubeless peep and I want to use a large opening rear peep sight. What make and model would you make a recommendation to use and maybe add your reasons why.Hey thanks.

Do a search. There's recent thread about this topic.

I used a meta peep.

G5's peeps have issues with warping. That's about the only one I would stay away from.

G5's are the only one I WOULD recommend. I use a 1/4" for hunting.

The warping problem only exists if you serve too close to the peep. I've had them on two bows and never had a problem.

If you don't serve close to the peep, you increase your chances for that peep to move vertically over time. A bit risky if you ask me.

Go with the 1/4" Fletcher. Same size as the G5 at half the cost.

Yeah, the blue looks cool and I thought helped with sighting. However,I had a G5 that was not served too tight and it warped. I've talked to G5 personally so I know the issue is real even on peeps not served too tightly. They've supposedly beefed up the latest version. I was sent a replacement and may never put it on since the Fletcher works so well.

I guess it's a known issue, but I haven't had any problem with two of mine yet. Good to know.

If you're familiar with Crackers over on AT, he and I both endorse the Radical line of peeps.

Good luck with whatever you decide.

Interesting. An automatic 'edit' of a name that sounds like 'Hacker.'

Now you've got me going through the alphabet using letters to start Hacker with...

I second (or third or fourth or whatever it is by now) Fletcher Tru-Peeps... never given me a bit of problem over the years; simple, inexpensive and bulletproof.
