Do they even still make them? Just went to their site and don't see them listed anywhere.

RE: G5 Meta peep problem......
And uhhhh..... almost 400 grains is now here near close to a dryfire 
Bust 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

400 grains is closer to a dry fire than 500. That's all I'm sayin'. The more energy you leave in the bow the more problems you're going to have with accessories and increased wear and tear. If the 400 grain arrow leaves the bow at 70 ft lbs of energy and the 500 gn arrow leaves at 72 ft lbs, then you're leaving 2 ft lbs of energy in the bow that could have gone into the arrow. Instead, you left it for the bow to absorb. About like holding a 2 pound weight a foot over your bow and dropping it on the bow with every shot you take.
You and others are griping about your peep sights egging out and I'm posing a question to get some data on a possible reason for it. I was hoping that, even if the whole concept was over your head, it'd at least get close enough to leave enough of a skid mark that you'd understand what I was after. Looks like it was a clean whiff though. [&o]

No gripe from here because I don't have the problem! LOL

Whatever you say, buckeye... But I'd still like to get enough data to find the threshold. 6 gpp? 6.5 gpp? If G5's great unpaid research team - aka it's customers - could give them some data instead of complaints, maybe they could improve their products.

G5 made the peeps stronger last year in response to these complaints. You may have got an old one. I've read in numerous places that the cause of the problem was operator error - people tying them in too close to the peep putting too much pressure on the peep.
I've never had this problem with mine. I tie it about 3/4" above and below.

I have not had that problem, but I do shoot the 3/16" Meta peep (works better with my sight guard) I shot 326 grain arrows out of my 60# Allegiance all last year.
G5 has beefed them up since the early ones

RE: G5 Meta peep problem......
Mine was the 1/4" model. I am shooting a 460grain FMJ arrow out of a 71# Guardian which comes out to about 6.5 gpp.
I would post a pic but when I saw it after the guy at the shop removed it, I told him I had no use for it anymore, just pitch it.
