RE: Pendeleum treestand sight
I use the Trophy Rudge Mantis. I shoot a Hoyt Vtec and a ViperTec with both with pendulum sights anda Hoyt HyperTec for ground only hunting which is very rare, its more for target practice and keeping me tuned up. Both pendulum sights are dead nuts to 35+ yards. No guess work, no worrying aboutusing my rangefinder ondeer as they come in or walk by etc ... its unreal how much simpler and confident it makes me when hunting from a stand. The Mantis only has one pin to lock out for hunting the ground but you can set you pin at 20 or 30 yards and just hold above or below the pin for closer or farther shots. If you are going to be worried about mainly hunting from the ground and only occassionaly hunting from a stand then just get a regular sight, leave the pendulum sights for the serious stand hunters.
