Default RE: Pendulum or fixed sights?

I really like fixed pin sights for hunting and I haven't had a problem with them ever when hunting. I really don't like the idea of a pendulum, especially when walking to and from my stand, I would forget to lock it down and then I would end up having an animal at 35 yards and only havea single pin. Get a range finder if you aren't comfortable with your yardage guessing skills from the treestand and then you don't need a pendulum.

I really like Sword sights. I am a staff shooter for them, however I bought mine before they invited me on their staff and did like it better than other sights I have owned in the pastdue to the thin pins that don't clutter up sight picture like other sights, as well as the large level in it that is easy to see at full draw. I also don't need extra brackets or widgets to attach a lense to the front of it, I just intall the lense and go. Their Apex Micro 3rd Plane is adjustable for 2nd and 3rd axis as well, plus it is light years cheaper than comparable sights with these features.

I have their Apex Micro 3rd Plane on my 3D bow with the small pin guard and the .010 pins, and for hunting I will probably use another Apex Micro 3rd Plane on my switchback XT with the small guard and .029 pins for 20-30 yards, and .019 pins for 40 and 50 yards.
