Added a Toxonics Sniper Pendulum Sight today to my PSE Firestorm, shot about two dozen shots and then removed it! The pendulum rattled with each shot. Tried everything to quiet it down, with no luck. For hunters who have quiet bows, I would avoid this sight.

I just put a Sniper pendulum sight on a new couger mag. . I shot the bow with out any string silencers or limb savers on it and took the sight off and put on differant sights same as you did because it made a loud vibration noise. but after adding string silencers and shot the bow a while I gave it another try and the vibration quieted down alot . I also installed Limb savers and it helped also .
.I had a Keller pendulum sight and it makes the same noise as the Sniper does .I think you here the noise a bit louder because your shooting the bow .Let a friend shoot it or let them listen to it and judge the noise level . I shot it out of a tree stand , and I had a friend listen to it and he could hardly hear it .If I were you Id play around with it a while, you wont be sorry .

I sent my sniper back to toxonics and they supposibly were going to fix it. I had that vibration from the get go I called them and they sent me new parts which didn,t help so after trying the sims products on it and they did not kill the sound I tried some vaseline and that did not help so I sent it back. 1.5 weeks ago I called yesterday they said they never received it (lie) so I checked ups there records show they got it last wed . I called today and Barb told me that the sight just went out to me today and the just received it yesterday (lie) so I called her on it and she seemed a little lost for words.funny thing when In May when I got it til now they still do not acknowledge the problem her quote the 2nd time I called your the first person to call about that sight (lie) muzzyman88 and I both conntacted them. they would,nt refund my money (bought it through them) or even exchange it for a different sight.and their credibility with me has worn very thin. I'm sure my sight will buzz when I get it back I'll let you know. 2 more things the pingaurd where the screws go in cracked and one post that the pedulum rides on got so lose that the pin would droop.

I haven't had any noise coming from my Sniper. Maybe you need a different stabilizer?? The only noise I get is when I violently shake my bow. I did however notice some hairline cracks in the bottom of the pin-guard. I will have to see if they get any bigger. I did put some mini-limbsavers on it as well.

Wow, timbow, sounds like you and I were in the same boat with that sight, and Toxonics in general. To me, it was bad enough that they sent a product out that they already realized had a problem before shipping. But, whenever they started taking longer and longer to reply to me, and not really ever fix the problem, I decided enough was enough. I got rid of that sight, and put a Copper John on. Have not had a single complaint about this sight. Simply Awesome!

Pendelum sight? Moving parts? Noise? Why am I not surprised. Try sighting a sigle fixed pin for 25 yards. Then shoot it at varying distances out to 30 yard and see what the results are. The tell me if you need a rattle-trap site.

well Toxonics sent me a new sniper pendulum and guess what? It still buzzes I don't know what to do I have put too much money into it I might call toxonics but I feel like Im beaten my head aganst a wall maybe Ill try some stuff to quiet it down I would like to try it out of a tree just to see how well pendulums work. Or I might just put my Montanna Black Gold back on. What would you do?
