Vital Bow Gear Camelback Pendulum! **AWESOME**
Hey there... Well, here it is, brand spanking new out of the package and mounted on my new Reflex Highlander lefty bow:
VITAL BOW GEAR CAMELBACK PENDULUM (LEFTY) SIGHT!
[8D]
OMG, is this thing bright! I mean this thing practically glows in the dark! I mounted it up under the light of the dining room table, then held up the bow and saw this bright pin shining like a beacon! I carried the bow down the hallway and the pin and the whole ring around the sight practically GLOWED![8D]
Then, I read the directions (...again) and fiddled with the pendulum action. That is really cool! It has a twist lever in the top/back that loosens up the pendulum action. Man, I can't wait to try this out!
Here is an image of it mounted up (Yeah, I'm backwards/lefty... everything is on the wrong side...
)

That is a good lookin sight. I just ordered the Vital Bow Gear "Angular Profix". I hope I'm as pleased with it as you are yours! Have you got to shoot it yet?

Nope... I never got a chance to shoot with it on. [&o] But I will tomorrow, you can count on that!
What I did do, however, is take measurements of my old Tru-Glo sight pin (the single 20 yard pin) before I unscrewed it. {I can hear you all now going, "Butch you goofball, you did what?"} I measured my old pin distance from the top of the S-Coil stablizer and also from theriser, and rough sighted them witha tape measure. Then when I mounted thenew VBG Camelback Pendulum, I used those same measurements and got it all setup, and then verified it by sighted it (carefully) at full draw through the peep. That way, I won't be in danger of missing the target on my first shot with the new sights.

Butch, that looks awesome!!!!!!!! I'm tellin ya though, you gotta turn that thing over so it will look right.. [&:]
The orange ring actually DOES glow in the dark....to an extent. I agree, the pin is amazingly bright. I got to shoot my Star Track more tonight and have just fallen in love with it.
I have always been intrigued by the pendulum sight and I am excited to hear what you have to say about it after shooting. Keep me informed buddy. Good post.
Oh, and I got my dad a new sight for his bow. He took those measurements as well and was DEAD ON!!

Hey again,
I shot my bow late this afternoon when I got home from work. Wow, is this sight bright!!!
It's like staring into a tinybright green lazer beam! I had the sight dead on at 20 yards, but a little bit off to the left with windage. A quick turn of two allen screws, and it's all set.
I didn't try out the pendulum action though, because I'd have to go up on my roof or up in a treestand to do that. But at least I got it zeroed in at 20 yards!
It's a great sight and didn't come loose or fly apart or anything upon release of a few arrows. It's really built strong. I highly recommend anyone who is considering a pendulum sight, to look into this one....
