Thank you Savage!!!!!!
 
This is only my third year bowhunting. Over the last two seasons, I have earned the nickname "The Barber", because I have given three haircuts. I was using my regular pin sights and not adjusting them once I got into my stand. This year I switched to the Savage pendulum sight and got my first deer, a spike, from a tree stand. I would highly recommend a pendulum sight for any other new bowhunters (especially Savage).

I had the same prob you did last year. Guess the guys could have called me "The Barber" too. I also switched to a Pendulum this year(Savage Feather Weight) and have already taken the first one of the season. I did miss a doe the first day of the season do to the pendulum sticking but I got that fixed.

There he was broad side at 20 yards. I drew, released and....

Virginia Hunter,
What caused your pendulum to stick and how did you fix it?

Theres a small screw on the side of the pendulum that controls how freely the pin swings. Mine came to tight from the factory and i didn't notice it till the day after I missed. I posted here and emailed savage and they told me to loosen the set screw. They said "not too loose because it will cause noise". I loosened it to the point that its moves freely. It didn't make any noise and shot true.

What do you mean adjust your pins once you got into your stand? I just started bowhunting, so I am wondering why you would adjust them.
I am assuming when you practiced with them, you know the range they are set for.
