RE: G5 meta peep
And,I can buy 4 of the others for the price of the meta.
I've got a 1/4" meta on my bowhunter/release class bow and haven't had any problems with it. Sure ticked me off with the price when I bought it, but it was the only 1/4" size in stock and I was needing one bad and in a hurry....

RE: G5 meta peep
YUP, heard the same thing at my shop about that peep. This story is not about the metapeep, butI changed my peep the other day, well Len did. I wanted it reamed out a little. When he took it off he showed me where the strings had cut through the outside covering of my generic peep and there was a sharp little metal burr digging on the string. I guess just lots of shots and wear and tear. So, we put on a new one. Would never have seen it myself probably and no one could seen it as long as it was on the string. It could have very easily cut through some string strands.

That'd be enough for me, right there.

RE: G5 meta peep
This may be a case of a bad batch that's still floating around. Or my Bowtech is just too much for the little meta!!! Just kidding on the second comment. It's just funny that I spent the extra money on a product that you expect to be superior. Oh well, that's life.

RE: G5 meta peep
I retract all the good stuff I said about those darn peeps. I was shooting today and saw that yet another g5 as turned oval on me. It is not alot by no means but I cant deal with the bad quality and for the money. I can tell you that most of the ones egging are on high poundage bows. Len said today he was not gonna stock them anymore and I cant blame him if its a poor designed product why keep it.

RE: G5 meta peep
Sorry to hear that yours went south on you too. I'm wondering if how the magnesium is cast is the problem, not the design? Also, I'm still trying to figure out howsomeone could determine if they had aone from the bad set or the good set by just looking at the package? I have a feeling that they fed Len a line when they said the ones thatwere sent were from the new set.
I just sent G5 an email about this issue. I wonder what type of response a non dealer will get?

RE: G5 meta peep
Just wonderful.
I couldn't find a singe 5/16 peep anywhere except the g5 and now this. Mine's only been on 2 months and so far it's OK. My luck, it'll oval overnight the night before opening day.

RE: G5 meta peep
Anyone have an idea how long it takes to show a problem???
I put one on my B.I. a month ago but haven't shot much because of the weather. I just checked it and it's o.k. but I'll take it off now before I ruin a new set of VT strings.
