I've been using a 1/4" peep for years andI've had the same problem more than once. But , every time I had that problem , a quick glance at my watch confirmed that it was past legal shooting hours. In Wisconsin our shooting hours are well defined for every day of the season with a open time listing and closing time listing. The only time I've had the peep problem is when I'm at least 30 minutes past closing time. The way I see it , why change something that works just so I can break the rules.
