Which Pendulum?
I' ve read the posts about the pendulum sites and did some searching, but I am still curious which pendulum you hunters prefer. I am not in the market for a new sight but always looking for the " perfect" set-up. Which one are easier to set-up, adjust, etc? Are some more durable, quiet than others? Anyone have models they reccommend you stay away from? Hope you guys aren' t too tired of beating this dead horse. Thanks for the info.

RE: Which Pendulum?
if you hunt from tree stands,get a predator put a kisser button on string for anchor point and sight it in tune it and go hunting!

RE: Which Pendulum?
My advice dont use a pendulum, nothing but trouble. I haven' t heard anything good about them from anybody I have talked too. But everybody is different...

RE: Which Pendulum?
i really like the keller pendulum i have had nothing but good luck with mine and its easy to set up and use.

RE: Which Pendulum?
Pendulums are good to use if you do most of your hunting from a treestand. I have herd good things about Savage sights but I like the Preditor IV. Quiet, bright adjusts to the speed of your bow. I owned a Keller and found it to be noisy and hard to see in low light conditions. Good luck let me know if you need to know more.;)

GO WITH THE SAVAGE QC-RANGER. SHOOT FROM THE TREE OR THE GROUND. GET THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS.

RE: Which Pendulum?
:) Check out the sniper pendulum it also has fixed pins for ground shooting. www.toxonics.com

RE: Which Pendulum?
Salvage allows hunting from a tree and the ground without any lock down of the pin. IMO, very accurate out to 30 yrds from both the tree and the ground , quite, and rugged.

RE: Which Pendulum?
That ABC Pivatal makes some realy big claims !!,50, 60, 70 yards ??
Anyone useing this site ?.What kind of range are you getting out of it ?. Does the site need to be adjusted if your tree stand height changes,from the original height you sitted it in from ??? The KELLER is very simple to use.If your 14' to 30' up, your good to go[:-] |

RE: Which Pendulum?
I just set up my bow with the Predator IV pendalum using the " dove-tail" type mount and a Timberline " No Peep" . The area I usually hunt is pretty flat and my stands are usually about 14 feet high. It took some time to set it up but the results are great. I do not have to worry about estimating distance and it has helped my confidence alot. I love the " No Peep" as I have a difficult time seeing through a standard peep sight and the " No Peep" highlights any flaws in form immediatly . I have a second Preditor dovetail bracket set up with fixed pins. By simply loosening up a thumb screw I can remove the pendulum and switch to the fixed pins in seconds and vice versa. So far, I am getting consistant results anytime I change out the sights. This really is the best of both worlds.

RE: Which Pendulum?
So,,,Lets say I set up a Pred.IV and it' s right on from 14' up.Now if one of my stands is hung at 24' ,will the sight STILL be dead on ?, Like the KELLER ??.
|
RE: Which Pendulum?
I shoot of my poarch approx. 15 feet high and most my stands are 20-25 feet high on uneaven ground and I am DEAD ON. So to answer your question, yes like a Keller. Hey Toytaco, I did not think you could use a No Peep with a pendulum. It really works good for ya?
|
RE: Which Pendulum?
Had a keller, great site, harvested many deer, but too noisey, dogmeat convinced me to get a Qc Ranger by savage. Best site I' ve used from the ground or above.

RE: Which Pendulum?
Droptines, the Preditor' s instructions state that if you sight in at 15 feet high you can then go to any height, even above 25 feet. If you go to a shorter stand, say 10 feet, you will be dead-on at 15 to 30 yards but you may be slightly high at 8 - 12 yards if you use a very slow bow, (less than 210 FTS) . You must check this out. I don' t really understand the geometry of how all this works, but Maccjo' s experience indicates that it does work.
Maccjo, all I can say is that the " No Peep" is the single best accessory I' ve added to my bow. It works great with the Predator Pendalum or the fixed pin set-up. In fact its better because you no longer have to align the " glow gaurd" ring on the Predator inside your peep sight. All you have to do is align the circles on the " No Peep" and your good to go. " No Peep" liturature says that it will actaully improve your form and shooting with a pendalum sight. I believe it because you will never be able to align your " No Peep" and sights with your target if you do not bend at the waist properly or vary from your standard anchor point. This is going to be great during early and late minutes on the stand when its almost impossible from me to see though my standard peep sight (my eyes are getting to old I guess). Needless to say I love it. |
RE: Which Pendulum?
The Pred.IV sounds like a real good tree stand sight !!.I think I might have to take a closer look .[:o]
