I shot a Keller for a couple years and had nothing but good experiences with it. The only thing that I don't like about pendulums is the amount of noise that they tend to give off. Sometimes they can be rather noisy, which might cause the deer to jump or duck the arrow.

This may sound like a really stupid question. I have a v drive pendulum sight on my bow. I've always wondered do you keep the yellow ring on the sight centered in your peep, or do you center the pin in your peep. I've never used the pendulum feature on this sight, but did shoot over two deer last year. If anyone can help me out, I would love to try it out. Just dont know the exact way to use the pendulum. Thanks in advance, from the pendulum newb.

You should have a way to release the pin so it will swing free as you tilt your bow. Once you sight it in on the ground as the instructions say, you should just have to let the pin swing free and point the bow at your target. I try to line my peep up with the circle of the sight and put the pin where I want it to hit. You shouldn't have to center the pin in the peep, your eye will nearly always automatically do that.

Thanks for the reply grasshopper. Kinda thought that way, now I'll just have to try it out off of my deck, and see what happens.

You keep the ring of the peep lined up with the yellow V drive sight ring, and put the sight pin on the spot you want to hit,what Grasshopper said.There is a blackthumb/finger screw on the topright side of the sight ring, screw it out to make the pendulum swing free, tighten up so its locked out for ground shotting.

Diesel...Which pendulum do you like??? I've been thinking about getting one for a few years, seems I'm one of those guys that shoots great on the ground, and up to 15 feet, when I get to 25 feet up in a tree, I shoot high...

They do work,however mine tended to overcompensate and shoot low, the sight would swing out oo far. I waqs able to remedy the situatuin with some tape. The other problem w/ the Tru-Glo that I had it seemed loose and would rattle a little on the shot making it noisy. I went back to a fixed pin sight.

Keller makes a real nice pendulum. I personally shoot the Trophy Ridge Mantis Guide Series with LED pin light. I chose that over the Keller just because it seems to have a more rigid mount and it has measured increment marks for adjustments butfor almost half the price the Keller is a great deal.Ive been bowhunting 26 years and just find it a littleeasier not to have to worry about guessing yardage, making sure you bend properly, etc when using regular sights. Sometimes you dont have time to use a rangefinder or just can make that much movement when theres a bunch of deer under you or dont want to risk it, or cant bend properly as your trying to lean one way or squat tomake sure you shoot under thatone limb right in your shooting path, so many variables that happen you just never know. If you mainly tree stand hunt then I think they are great.

Thanks, I'll try that, I shot over a doe last night, and I've got to correct my problem before going back again...I only tree stand hunt, go up about 25 feet and she was only about 17 yards away, I'm sure I'm not bending at the waist properly...Funny, shooting from the roof of my house, I'm good, up in a tree things happen...Good Luck

Ive got the new Summit Hot Dot pendulum sight. It works AWESOME. Its all electronic which is the only thing im worried about. Dont want that battery goin dead when I finally draw back on a monster. All you do is sight it in for 30 yards from the ground with a fixed pin (led). Switch it to pendulum and you are right on from 0-30yards from 10-30ft in the air. The great thing about it is that there is only one red dot and the rest of the sight is wide open. It allows you to see the deer and there arent any pins in the way. Its a great sight
