    I have my anchor points down, release smooth, groups pretty tight at reasonable distance,20-40 yards. But this peep sight is killing me, low light I cant line them up properly. I have the light on my sites, so I can see the pin, just cant match them up. I shoot later than would be legal practicing, trying to help the problem, but im still having issues. I have a peep that has the tube on it, mabe a different peep? This has been my only struggle shooting my martin, everything else once I got the peep to quit moving has been reasonable. Any suggestions would be appreciated, don't get to shoot to many deer in brightly lit days.

    Maybe try a peep with a larger hole to let more light in for you?

    Get an inline g-5 peep with the largest apeture.

    I'll be honest i hunt until the last possible light sometimes past that so I went the biggest peep my archery shop had and it mase a huge difference in seeing the lighted pin.

    Sounds like the peep is to small. I would get a larger one. I have never been a fan of the tubes either. When I started hunting I hiked into my spot one morning in the dark. Finally had a deer in range and when I drew back I found out the tube had snapped. Must of caught something on the hike in. Ruined that hunt and removed it right after and will never go back to one.

    got the g5, seem like it has the lighted part of the pin circle as a halo, but im cool with that, try it out when its not super windy, think it will work, thanks.

    the g5 is a great peep, ive used one on several of my bows. I think I use the 3/16 and its perfect for those early mornings or late nights with minimal light.

    I use a 1/4" G5 meta peep and I center it around my 2" sight housing. Works well for me.

    Along with being too small, it sounds like it might not be positioned correctly for you. You should be able to come to draw and anchor without any head movement to align the peep. If your needing to move, you will struggle in low light getting the alignment correct.
