If you hunt primarily from a tree, they work. Some can be a bugger to to get setup just right. I have used them for a long time, and switched last year to fixed pin. In my opinion, a bow shooting in the 260+ area, pendulums arent any better. With the advent of carbons, and the high speed, flat shooting bows, fixed pins are just as good. Many people use one pin out to 30 yards and kill many deer.

no moving parts, and quieter most times.

Of course though its all in what makes you confident and accurate in hunting situations.

If you still want a pendulum, the savage is probably the best out there.
