Default Pendulum sights?

Do any of you use pendulum sights when hunting from a tree stand? If not, Do you just aim a little high? Any info would be cool, Thank' s.

I use them and have for years. They work great for treestand hunting as long as the terrain is FLAT.

Got to love those pendulums. No thinking just aim and shoot.

How do you aim if the terrain is not flat?

LittleRhody you want to aim low if your just using a fixed pin site. Practic at a target out of a tree and you will see. I saw a show on it once that said aim for the lower third of the deer. When your above the deer you can actually see more of the deer than you can actually shoot at. So if you see approx. 24inches you might only be physically able to hit a smaller portion of that.

You should have directions but all the ones I ' ve owned it was 20 yds. Sight it in on level ground. You should be good to go from 12 ' or higher and From 0 out to 30 yds. For more help contact PSE http://www.pse-archery.com/
