Hello All,
Since I won't be doing anymore hunting this season, I figure I might as well start looking at a few toys to upgrade my bow with. I've been thinking about switching to a pendulum sight for a while but have been hesitant. When I first started out with Archery, the Keller was the only pendulum I was aware of. Now, though, several companies offer pendulum sights and I'm not sure which works better. So, please offer some suggestions. My bow specs are in my signature. I'll be shooting from a treestand at about 15-25 feet high, at ranges no further than 30 yards.

kinda all upto YOU. nearly every maker makes a pendulum. not sure if any are better or worse then any others. comes down to brightness, how much fiber optic is used, plastic or metal, and the design. i dont know who maks the good and the bad...i been hearing alot of good about Vital Bow Gear's sights. ButchA has their camelback pendulum i believe...he likes it last i heard. im thinking about the same thing as you..sights for next year. im torn between a pendulum or a single pin slider...something else you may think about if you do target shooting passed the typical 30yds. if i can find a GOOD lockable pendulum on a slider im buyin it! i just enjoy practicing pretty far out. just something else to think about.

Truglo makes an adjustable pendulum sight. I am seriously leaning towards a truglo pendulum sinceI own their 3 pin sight now and am happy with it. the pendulum sight is about 65 bucks at cabelas, I believe the adjustable pendulum is close to 100 bucks if not a little more. I was considering a cobra pendulum but have heard a few bad reviews of their regular sights, and I like the looks of the truglo pendulum.

I have a Kellers Pendulum from a few years back and absolutely love it. I use to hunt with 3-pins, but ever since I got my Keller zero'd in, I haven't gone back. I have had absolutely no problems with the Keller and would recommend it to anyone who asked me.

This is the sight your looking for. I bought one this year and have been very happy with it. its a great pendulum as well as on a slider for range shooting.
