Default 50yd pin and peep problem

After reading the other thread on the pins too low for adjustment, those comments may be a similar answer to my problem. What m having trouble with is being able to centre my 50 yd pin in peep. I have no troubles with others. I know where to align pin in peep to hit where I want,but it's not ideal. I'd like to get it centred. What do I have to do?
It's an APA M7. Pins set 20-50

you shouldnt focus on centering your pin in the middle of your peep you should be centering the sight guard inside your peep, the guards are circular for that reason, more room for error trying to center a .19 fiber inside your peep then centering a 2-3'' sight guard

Is your sight level with your string? If it is all your pins should align in the center of your sight window when lined up with your peep. Another thing to check is if your rest is centered with your string. Have you ever paper tuned or walk back tuned your bow?

Was your 50yd pin ok then?

I would do a quick tune on it, first a paper tune, then a walk back tune. Knock a little high is good, low, left or right and I would adjust. Then I would do a walk back to verify arrow flight.

Honestly the 50 yd pin was setup a couple months later.

Paper tuning is easy to do and can save you some hair!

Agree with above...sounds like peep is too high...or peep is too small

First establish proper anchors...with eyes closed come to full draw with anchors...have someone mark the spot when you open eyes...bring peep to that spot...adjust slightly so entire sight ring can be seen...pick at spot on target ...pin comes to that X in Peripheral vision...
