Pins or Pendulum?
 
Thanks to those of you who answered my previous poll on arrow selection based on material type...very helpful!

My next question is- which type of sight is better for deer hunting from a tree stand? The PSE bow that I have has pin sights on it, but I was curious if anyone out there prefers to use a pendulum sight...

What are some advantages/disadvantages of both?

Thanks!

I LIKE A PENDULUM. THE REASON BEING I GET AS HIGH IN A TREE AS I CAN AND I HAVE TROUBLE JUDGING DISTANCES...................TONY

Pendulum. Used a Keller for almsot 10 years. Switched to a Cobra pendulum due to noise the Keller made. Love the Cobra. Super quiet.

I have never used a pendulum sight but I was always told the were excellent out to 30 yards over that they are un accurate.I was also told the pivot points can freeze in winter and perform erractic.Maybe someone one here can confirm this.I do use a 5 pin sight sight that works great for me out to 50 yards no matter what the weather or other conditions are.

I prefer pins over pendulum and as far as getting up High I use Leupold RX 2 for correct distance readings.
