Pendulum sight, need opinions
#21
ORIGINAL: Angry Beaver
The reason I'm thinking about a pendulum is I only shoot 60 pounds so the difference between a 20 yard pin and a 30 yard pin is significant. If I judge the distance wrong or have a brain fart and forget if I need to hold the 20 yard pin high or low on a 25 yard shot, I'm going to miss. With the pendulum I don't have to worry about judging the distance from 30 yards in, just get the pin on and let the arrow go. The downsides seem to be noise and sticking. Have any of the pendulum supporters had any problems with the sight sticking at the moment of truth? It seems with proper care and lubrication, that shouldn't be a problem.

The earlier models of the Keller were noisy. The newer versions are much better. They still are not dead silent, but i can assure you that the deer i have killed with it on my bow did not hear it. Any time there is a moving part involved there will be some noise, but to me, the accuracy of the sight and the elimination of distance guessing in the heat of the moment outweighs what noise the sight makes. My bow is quick enough that most of the time the deer dont even realize an arrow went through them, let alone that a sound came from my sight.
