Hey Jake,
I just took my Keller off my bow and went with a fixed pin. I hunt in some pretty hilly country and as much as I like the Keller it actually worked against me last year with a buck coming in up the hill in front of me. My Keller is sitting on my work bench, works fine, lights up - no known problems - if you want it e-mail me and we'll see if we can't work something out.
Good Luck!

Check out the Cobra View Master Extreme, Very bright pin, it locks down has micro adjustability and is very well built. I highly recomend it.

If you stay within the design parameters of a pendulum, I've had flawless success with the Savage Pendulum Max...

I have shot every one made, I think.
I currently have a Keller on my Reflex, but my new AR-31 bow has the new Trophy Ridge Mantis, So far it may be the best one I have used ever.!

Hey ben do you know if that is a good pendulum for hunting hills?

I don't think any pendulums work well when used in hilly terrain.
I will secong the Savage Max though.
They have them on sale in my cabelas catalog
Fiber optic- $49.99
Tritium- $59.99

Predator IV

It takes a bit more to set it up, but I think it has the features you're looking for. Real quiet too!!!

I guess it would depend on how many pins you would normally have on your sight.
It has the one pin, It does lock down to keep from swinging and then can be used and I do use it as a 20/30 yard fixed pin sight. I am amazed at this sight. Quiet on the shot, and all around great quality. I bought two off ebay brand new in the packs, one was a v-drive, better for ground hunting along with the pendulum but not for me, I mainly hunt semi flat ground in a tree. then the guide series that was pictured above, shot both and went with the cheaper of the two, both were awesome, just did not need all the features of the V-Drive sight.
