RE: G5 Meta peep problem......
 
Is this a peep without a tube? If so any probs? I am thinking about going to a tubeless peep

Got a question for ya. What is the prefered hole size for 3-d in the meta peep ? I was going to get one for that and probable 1/4" for hunting. im ready to get away from the peep with the surgical tube.

I personally like a 3/16's for any sort of target venue. With the 1/8 I loose to much clarity and things become blurry to my eye thru it.

Yes, it is tubeless.

Will I gain a few FPS without the tube? Thanks for the help btw.

I just looked it up on basspro.com and this has my name on it.

Mine's 1/4" and not egged. It's the large sizes I'd think would be more susceptable to the problem.

Frankly, I suspect a relationship between egging and arrow weight in grains per pound. The lighter you go on arrow weight, the closer you get to a dry fire. Everyone knows that the first thing to get broken or lost on a dry fire is the peep sight because it's the first thing besides the string to take the full blast of that unexpended energy.

I'm at 7 gpp with no egging. Buckeye has egging at 5.6 gpp. It'd be nice for everyone who's having trouble with this problem to list their gpp and peep size. Might give G5's people some idea how much stronger they have to make their product. And give you something more constructive to do than just gripe about it. ;)

Hey Scott.....

Wouldn't it matter HOW you shoot (RE: peep size for 3D)? For instance.....I shoot with both eyes open.....and I like to line up my peep with my sight housing. If others did this....wouldn't the size of their sight housing dictate the peep size?

Just asking......

I hunt with a 3/16" and shoot 3d/target with an 1/8th. When I move to a 1/16th peep, everything is just way to blurry.

1/16" peep?

Are you serious? They make one this size? I can't imagine.[&:]

Yes, and your bow will be more quiet on the shot.

Yes, in some instances..... It might matter but in my case, it doesn't as my preferred 3/16's is a nice mate with my CopperJohn comp sight with the dovetail maxed out. I on the other hand shoot target with one eye closed.

I agree it would be the larger sizes that would be more susceptible to "egging".

And uhhhh..... almost 400 grains is no where near close to a dryfire :eek::DBust out the Lincoln logs Arthur is in the house!

Also, I am not gripping, if anyone is it is you with others peoples choice of arrows ;)

Thanks, Scott. Sorry if it was O/T.

Interesting how others do it.
