RE: shooting distance?

I have bow hunted for over 20 years and I have one piece of advice.. Pendulum.. Pendulum.. Pendulum sight if you hunt from a treestand! Why take a chance in guessing the yardage and wounding or missing an animal?We ALL have trouble at times figuring yardage on the ground but thats NOTHING to trying to figure it out 20ft up in a treestand with your heart pumping 90 miles an hour, your mouth dry and chill bumps as big as gold balls. I still hunt with a pendulum sight from an elivated stand and always will. This takes all the guess work out of the shot as far as yardage is concerned out to about 30 yards ... why spend ALL the time, sweat, practice, and money just to blow a shot at the time of truth??? Just my humble opinion ....
