What size of peep?
 
I'm thinking of getting a G5 LE Optix sight and was wondering what size of G5 meta peep I should get?

General rule of thumb I use.... if your peep bracket is under 2" in diameter, go with 3/16. If it is 2" or greater... then go for 1/4".

Also, if you shoot with one eye closed.... I'd go with 1/4".

3/16'' G5 Meta Peep on my bow with Tru Glow Xtreme sight, good alignment.

I think it's a matter of personal opinion for the most part, whether or not you use a kisser or not, angle of string, etc, personally like a 3/16, but for target shooting, a 1/8 can make a guy deadly as well. But a 1/8 is too difficult to see out of for hunting at low light. I learned that the hard way. If my peep won't match the pin housing when I look through it, I'm instantly thrown off, and likely to make a bad shot, therefore, I'm still in the stone-age of tubed peeps.

I wished that I had a tube on this past weekend. I think the cold weather is having an effect on my strings and then the D-loop gets loose and moves. Coulda, woulda, shoulda....

Why would you switch to one of those overpriced G5 sights? Stick with your HHA!

Bryce,
I'll never be without one on my bow. I know guys say you loose speed, and "good strings" don't stretch/twist, but I'd rather not take my chances, and I know for a Fact that WC stretch and twist, and Vapor Trails do a little as well, not a lot, but just a little, but if I'm looking through and oblong, rather than my nice round circle, I'm instantly irritated and wondering how accurate I'm going to be.

That is one thing that I cannot stand. I know that my Vapor Trails twist a little and I think that it partially caused by the rapid change in temp from the warm cabin to the cold stand and back again. The speed thing is the main reason that I am going without. I was hoping to get all the stretch out of the string by now, but I guess not.

It's worth loosing 5-10fps if it means that you'll have a nice 130" buck in the bed of your truck, rather than a missed opportunity because that $&*@#!% peep twisted on you and you couldn't get that shot!!!!

I'm starting to feel that way.
