yep, with that SDP sight the white ring around it should fit perfectly inside a 1/4" peep with a average draw (28" 29") or a 3/16 would prob work good if you have a longer draw (30" 31") All depending on how far your peep is from your eye.

I prefer 3/16, not sure if 1/4 would be too big for my liking.

I went with a 1/4", and it ended up being a little too big so I down sized to a 3/16" and it's perfect.

I use the 1/4" one from R.A.D. peeps.  It's a great product and is made here in Washington by a lifelong bowhunter.

Same thing for me - I have the SDP and it's perfect at that size - 28.5" draw length.

My Truth has a 31 inch axle-to-axle length and the string angle means its further from my eye. I also shoot a Hogg It sight and not only drilled out my 1/4 inch sight to "As Big As Was Safe" but also added two inches in sight bar length (8 now).

I still have to make sure I can see the entire sight housing during the building of my "picture".

Size...whatever works!
“The rifle itself has no moral stature, since it has no will of its own. Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter can not be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles.”
