BRy....
Right now I use a G5 Meta peep.Isn't my current peep larger?
That's the kind of stuff I'm looking for, though. Does anyone make one of these that would be as large as my G5?

Jeff, recheck my post I added some more links. In fact, Keystone has a 1/4" super peep and the verifiers for it. This is intersting. I just wonder how much more it weighs than the Meta Peep.

I shoot up to about 25 yards with both eyes open, but due to blurring and some double vision, at about 30 yards I have to use my dominant right eye only.
Of course it is not an exact deal and depends on outside light, but when I'm having a little trouble with my pin I close my left eye.
It doesn't seem to affect my shooting (in fact I seem to shoot better with one eye closed, but I know its considered bad form from shotgun hunting).
Also, a "gummer" bowhunter told me that it was okay to do that and he had a buddy that had a flip down patch or something like that.
Of course I don't plan on making the 3-D circuit, just killin deer.
This is absolutely no help to you GMMAT.

matt, check out www.specialtyarch.com. try the 1/4" hooded peep w/ a #1 clarifier. its for use w/ a 2-4 power lens - maybe even a 5 depending on your eyes, but it has helped some folks i know locally who don't shoot a lens, but were dealing w/ exactly the same issue.

RE: Gettin' old.....don't see as good as I used to
if you are looking through a peep sight and are focusing on the target at x yardage shouldn't the pins that are x feet away from you be blurry? kind of like a pair of binoculars...they can focus on things far away and then the things that are closer will be blurry?
or did i miss understand GM's problem?
i wear glasses and when i am shooting at 20,30,40 etc i focus on target...thus the target is clear and my pins are blurry......if i focus on my pins they are clear and the target is blurry.....that is why we use smaller pin size to make the "blurryness" less to be more accurate.........i to am no expert in this field by any means, but if there is a way to make both clear then why would we use a smaller pin?
