Rob,
What size is your Verifier? if and when you need a #6 maybe we could swap. I think I need a #5, but it wasn't available when I got mine. I have the 1/4" model.
For those who need more info try
www.specialtyarch.com. There's so much stuff o there it will boggle the mind/ Two different size ball peeps, different colors, different angle for short or long bows, hooded or non. There's even a model that uses the dreaded rubber tube aligner.
This is the model I have with the Verifier lens. It's all that was available in 1/4" when I got mine so I just cut the attachment nipple off and use it wihout a tube. This peep is plastic whereas all the others are aluminum.
I have both a 1/8" and a 1/4" . I had owned a Super Peep that must not be available anymore. This is where I have the 1/8" verifier.
I have this peep now since I had ordered the 1/4" and it didn't fit my original Super Peep. But like Matt / PA says, the verifier is actuall 3/16" because it screws into the 1/4" adapter that fits in the Super Ball Peep.
Here is the link to the Peep:

You could possibly be right. The lens itself very well may be 3/16". I never actually measured it. I just knew, after trying the 1/8" that I needed something bigger to pass more light through.
I don't know how old your eyes are or how bad your eyes are, but for several years now I've been looking through my peep and seeing 3 fiber optic dots per pin. One is where it should be. Then there are two others (halo). One at 4 o'clock and one at 7 o'clock. Couple that with astigmatism and I get some really ugly shots on a 3D target once in a while. Like I'll aim really well and make a good shot at 28 yards and the arrow hits 6-8" to the left.
My distance vision isn't really all that bad. 20/40 in my aiming eye, but I think the astigmatism is what gets me the most. I can judge distance pretty well. Rarely more than 2 yards off, but I just can't see to aim.
And there's always that disturbing fact of trying to shoot a Vegas face with a green pin. It just doesn't happen, but I think even good eyes have problems with that. I starting to think about getting a lens for myHoggitt (spelling) sight and use a ring in it. Just trying to figure out what size ring would work for 3D. Maybe something that encompasses about 4" at 20 yards.
Sorry to get off topic some, but it might lead others to find a setup that works.
