ok guys. im pretty fed up with my shurz-a-peep. sure when its all ligned up it works like it should. but mannn is it finicky. if my loop moves a hair so do the strings..duh..but if it only had 2 strings i wouldnt have such a problem..sure its gota be aligned still...but there wont be a 3rd string to blind me. i was looking at the Meta-peep by G5. they say its lighter than others...is it really? good peep? worth the extra change? think they are like 8-10$ or something..no biggie if it works well. and if it could save me a fps or 2 that would be nice too since i plan on heavier arrows next year i wanna gain some speed anywhere possible to even things out..

I had a meta peep installed on my bow after shooting a peep with with silicone tubing attached for about 2 months...Picked up 4 fps and havent had any problems with it yet...buddy aslo has one and is yet to have a single problem...i believe as long as there served right they are about as good as you can do for a peep right now...mine is the 1/4" version...hope this helps

Well I am not necessarily going to install the G5 on my PSE, right now, I think I'll get 2 of them and wait until I can mount one on my new BOWTECH Guardian when I get it.

Hey if it is the real deal, I'll have to try it. I deserve a new bow...... in fact I told the wife that tonight, and I know for a fact she heard me as she was walkingaway laughing. So I bet it won't be long...... she might even be planning on buying it for me...... Ya think? I'll hold my breath.

thanx for the info guys...if you cant tell im pretty much doing a make over on the Highlander by next season. i didnt have the cash for everything i wanted this season so i kept it prettttty basic. but im ready to upgrade it all after this season..im going to make a shopping list and start knocking things off here and there when i got extra change..that way it wont sting as bad..

michaelT....good luck with that......be sure to let us know how that works out! lol

I have a G5 peep and I really, really like it. I haven't had a problem with the peep lining up...in fact, I took my tubing off when I put this peep on. I thought the blue color would be kinda weird, but I really like it. Your eye is drawn to the peep and things seem to get lined up quicker. I found my peep at cabelas for about $10. I don't think I will need to be worring about getting a different peep for quite some time...I really like this one!

I got the 1/4" one after I got screwed out of a low light shot [:@]with the old peep. I like it but make sure You can keep your loop in the same place mine turns some times I think I'm gonna put a touch of super glue to hold it in place. The Bow shop said I'm gonna need a new string soon so that may be it. the best part is that even with it turned you can still see thru it. get it.

I use a Shurz a peep without a problem. I put a Gibblet string on my bow, set things up and started shooting. After about 100 shots I made a small adjustment and that is it.I really believe string quality has a lot to do with peep rotation or lack there of.
