Just got my new sight, the scope on this one is 2" and on my old one 1 5/8. 2" is as small as they offered on this sight. With my old one I centered my scope in my peep, with the new one the scope is to big for my peep. My peep now is 3/16", so I ordered a new one 1/4" and a string separater . I was told to use waxed b50 string to serve it in with, the only way that I have found to buy this is a 1/4lb roll. That should last me 3 life times. After some research I found out this is what they make bow strings out of. I have a few old bow strings lying around, I should be able to cut a strand out of one of them and use that? I would think this should work fine. If someone that has more experience with working on bows than me would chime in and confirm this I would appreciate it. One more thing maybe I should make sure that the 1/4" peep will be big enough to center a 2" scope in?

Have you tried moving the sight all the way forward?

With my bow a 2" sight works perfect with a 1/4 peep. And don't be a dork! Pm me your address and I can send you a wad of BCY 3d serving. Some stranger sent me some awhile back. I bought more. Love to pay it forward. All I have is black. 3d is awesome for peeps
