Default G5 Meta peep problem......


Have youguys noticed if your G5 meta peeps are "oblonging" out? My 1/4 inch hunter isn't round anymore..... More of an elliptical shape..... [/align]

I only have two right now Scott. I put them on my General and Marquis. It's the first ones I've owned and I don't notice anything yet but they are fairly new. I have however heard of this before.

When they took mine off to put on my Verifier, the guy told me it wasn't round any more. I took a look and sure nuff I could tell it was oblong too. He sais the guy that tied it in had too much pressure on it. He should have had the ties farther from the peep.

I have heard others complain about this also.

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 don't even tie my peep in in that fashion... So that is not why mine has done it.....There is next to no pressure on my peep from serving it in..... [&:]

How could this happen? They are made out of magnesium(spelling?) & that stuff breaks not bends.

Yes, they did have a problem with them about a year ago. I know that they changed them to fix it. Call them and see if they will replace them for you.

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