Assume one is only interested in a hunting sight to use from elevated stands, shouldn't a pendulum be the main thing to consider? I know the knock on them is the potential to be off on severe downhill or uphill, but these should be rare and could be compensated for before hand. For instance, this year I'll be focusing my efforts on a piece of property.

Properly set up and sighted in, a pendulum would compensate for yardage, and allow one to use a heavier arrow without having to worry about the trajectory out to 30 yards or so. Using a faster arrow could even stretch this range if a perfect opportunity presented itself (buck lays down broadside and goes to sleep).

What say ye?
