also has anybody hear of any issues of the cobra freezing up in temps down to 30 degress? thanks again.

If i were you i would check out Keller's pendulum iv used it for years and it works awsome! very impressed

I'll recommend savage. This was my 1st year using it(switched from a keller) and it was great.

I have the been using the Cobra for a couple of years. I have original Cobra pendulum, that sight has 2 pins on it, and shot deer when temps were in the low 20's. This year I bought the new Veiw master extreme to replace the older model, I really didn't like the 2 pins. I was so pleased with the View master I bought a second one to put on my back up bow. This sight is well made, very easy to adjust and locks down easily if you need to. I don't think you will have any problem in really cold weather. The pin on this sight is super bright as well. I think you will be plaesed with sight.

has anyone really got in a tree stand and practiced with them lets say out to 35 yards?? everyone that i know that has them just sights in for 20 yards and thats it. do these things really work??

RE: pendulum sight
 

Same here works great!

Eider,
how far out have you practiced with your pendulum at an elevated posistion [if you have] and what was the height you were shooting at and the poundage of your bow? just curious, thanks

RE: pendulum sight
 

i have a savage and you can shoot them on the ground or in a treestand with no adjusting and its dead on

Shootemup, The longest shot I can take from any of stands is about 25 yards. I have never shot a deer farther than 20 however. I shoot a 60lb draw with a 26 inch draw length with ACC 128's and spitfire mechanicals. I don't know my arrow speed off hand but I have never had a problem with my broadheads or sight. This set up has worked absolutly fantastic for me. I believe it has made me a much more accurate shooter. My tree stands are anywhere from 12 to 18 feet high. I know with in close shots the pendulum works great. I've shot deer from the 18 foot high stand as close as 8 yards. That's a preety steep angle. I can't tell you about usung the pendulim at 35 yards because I've never tried it, I wouldn't be comfortable taken shots that long at a deer, nor is it possible in most the places I hunt here in Maine, it's pretty thick where I set up. Hope this helps.
