RE: G5 Meta peep problem......
 

My shop wouldn't even sell or install them due to all the problems they had with this........they showed me a couple that actually had stress cracks because they were so out of shape.

I have a couple and even had one in my Equalizer with no problems but I didn't own it long enough to know for sure. I think this happens over time and is probably related to how much you shoot as well.



Send 'em back if you can.

RE: G5 Meta peep problem......
 

I don't know when they started having problems with them......but I ordered the first one my shop had ever put in......in December of '06. I had it taken out of my string, this week, when I had the SAP hooded peep with the verifier installed.

I just went downstairs and got the G5.....and mine is still round.....w/ no cracks.

Like my wife said....."If I sit here and look at it long enough.....I can probably be convinced its not round", though:D. I trust you guys, implicitly, about this. Mine's just not our of round.

Interesting....

RE: G5 Meta peep problem......
 

I will send them an email and see what they say....

Out of the 6 I own only my 1/4 inch hunter peep shows this damage. The 1/8's and 3/16's peeps all look fine.

RE: G5 Meta peep problem......
 

I'm wondering what arrow weights you guys are using? Grains per pound of draw weight?

I've been shooting with a Meta peepat 7 gpp on a Bear TRX 36 at 65 lbsfor over a year and haven't experienced any egging.

RE: G5 Meta peep problem......
 

395 grains at 70 pounds.

RE: G5 Meta peep problem......
 

Do they make one bigger than 1/4"? I think I have the biggest one they make.....but I don't know.

RE: G5 Meta peep problem......
 

Yes, 5/16's. It came out this year I believe.

RE: G5 Meta peep problem......
 

I'm trying to think.....but I'm pretty sure mine was installed when I bought my bow. If I'm not mistaken......mine might be 5/16", then (I know I ordered the biggest one they had).

Neither here nor there, though.....just wondering. I'm going to shoot some 3D at my shop @ 10:00. I'll ask them if they've heard any rumblings about this.

Thanks, Scott.

RE: G5 Meta peep problem......
 

I honestly think it has something to do with the fact that Magnesium is not as strong and durable as say an aluminum Tru-Peep.


Also I think on 70lbs that string is "pinching" in on them pretty hard and over time it can happen.

RE: G5 Meta peep problem......
 

I was shooting 437gr @ 66#'s (Hunting) ......and 362gr @ 66#'s (target).
