Im a fan of Pendulums for huntingjust because I only tree stand hunt. Beenshooting regular pin sights for over 25 years. I started shooting pendulums about 10 years ago. When Im in a tree, a pendulum works well for me.

I shoot294 fps and have tried both the svage and the mantis.They both worked pretty good but the max yardage iwas able to get was about 32-33 yards andI get that with fixed sights.At one time,they had an advantage but at todays speeds I see no reason to use one if you use good form and bend at the waist.I'd have to see 40 yards to believe it.

WOW:D

FAD? Not hardly, I just flat out prefer a pendulum over a fixed sight. Do I NEED it? No.

Sure, fixed pin sights work great, pendulum sights work great also. So, what's the advantage of using a fixed pin? My pendulum locks into place for ground shooting, and unlocks to allow shots from nearly straight down to 40+ yards without compensation.

Noisy? It wouldn't be on my rig if it was noisy.
