My thoughts as well. I found that they were OK but not great. I've also had them stick when I was hunting as well. A pendulum sight is absolutely worthless if it doesn't move freely. I'm from the "simpler is better" school of thought when it comes to bow hunting. I ditched the pendulum sight for a 2 pin set-up. One for 20 and one for 30. They never stick when I least expect it.
