RE: peep dilema!!
Answering your last question about peeps, two come to mind. Fletcher and Specialty.
Fletcher makes a 1/4" hunter peep that I use on my hunting bow.
Specialty makes two that are worth a look. The first is the Superball that accepts different size inserts from 1/32 tp 7/64" or if you want the biggest hole then it's 3/16" with no insert. There is also a hooded version.
The second is their Super Hunter Peep. It's a whopping 5/16" without an insert, but does accept inserts down to 1/32". The possible downside to this one is that it has a tube aligner. It's real easy to get around if you don't want a tube, Just cut the tube connector off--it's only plastic. I cut it and filed it nice and flat.
Either of the Specialties also accept Clarifier lenses for clearing up scopes (target shooting) or Verifier lenses for those aging eyes when pin just get so darn blurry and nothing helps.
