Default Pendelum sight?

I'm considering getting a pendulum instead of a fixed pin. These are the two I've found:

and

www.kellerbowsights.com/about.html

does anyone have any experience with either of them?

I am not too familiar with those sights. But I have heard good things about the Keller sight. It's been around for years.

I have a Vital Gear camelback pendulum. It's okay.... But I am looking at going back to a standard multi-pin sight. The pendulum is nice and does the job, but, it is noisy, rattles, and following the laws of physics and geometry, it can't compensate for downhill or uphill shots from a treestand.

What's your range with it out of a tree?Ohh and how fast is your bow?

I'm shooting an old bowtech stalker it's going right at 275 ish with a 70 lb draw

With my Vital Gear camelback pendulum, the instructions said to lock it down and sight the single pin at 25 yards, flat level ground. Then, you're good to go from 5 yards out to 30 yards - maybe 35 with a real fast bow. I've practiced from all ranges, and am a hair low at 30 yards from up in a treestand.

I have an '06 Reflex Highlander at 68#, 29" draw, and am shooting 267 (or 272 with feathers).

I would look at HHA if i were you. They make a VERY good quality single pin pendulum sight.
