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.

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

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

Size...whatever works!
