advice on a pendulum sight for my daughters bow
 
Any advice on a pendulum sight for my daughters bow? She has a PSE Nova 52lbs , 28” draw . I think it is shooting around 200fps. What is a good pendulum sight to work at these lower speeds?

I personally have never used a pendulum sight but from what I've heard the Trophy Rigde Mantis isnice sight. They are a bit pricey though.

With a bow shooting just 200FPS I would not recommend a pendulum sight. They just don't compensate yardage very well when shot at low speeds. Take my word for it, I know from experience. I am a fan of pendulum sights, I used one up until this year. However, they just don't seem to work very well on slower bows. Once you get up into the 250-260 FPS range they work well.

Thanks - thats what I thought, I thought some had adjustments for different speeds, but I didn't know how slow the would go. I understand the concept but don't have any experience with these sights. She is fied up about hunting now but, I don't think I want to spend $100 unless she is going to hunt some and the sight will work.
