Default RE: Pendulum sights. Anyone use them?

Sharkey-

Pendulums are a great tool for the treestand hunter. One thing to keep in mind, though, if you do choose to get a pendulum. The actual distance it is good out to is dependant on alot of factors, such as arrow weight and speed. Just because the package says "good out to 30 yards", doesn't mean it will be good out to 30 yards from your bow.

When I first shot the Savage pendulum on my set-up with a rather heavy arrow, I only got 28 yards from my pin. However, once I switched to a lighter arrow, I got 33 yards.
You'll need to test your equipment to see the maximum yardage should you choose to use a pendulum.

Good luck,

Slice
