in custom view you can override touchesEnded method.This sample code may help your custom view hit test problem.

 - (void)touchesEnded:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event {

            if ([touches count] == 1) {
                UITouch *touch = [touches anyObject];
                CGPoint point = [touch locationInView:custom_view];

                if (CGRectContainsPoint(custom_view.bounds, point)) {
                   //if touch hit to custom_view
                };
            }
            [super touchesEnded:touches withEvent:event];
        }
