I am thinking about buying one. Does anyone have any experience with them?


Thanks

has anyone used any Toxonic sights?

I have used the Sniper for the last two seasons. It does a good job. The only drawback is that it is a little noisy. I get a buzz when I shoot my bow. I' ve put some mini limbsavers on the pendulum and the pin guard that seems to help a bit. I like being able to shoot from a stand or the ground with the same setup. I' m shooting a six year old FeatherMax so it may not be as noisy with some of the newer setups.

I had the sight for about a month before unloading it on ebay. Its a nice concept if you like the pendulums, but dont want to sacrifice ground pins. But, the thing was noisy and I had a problem with the pendulum swinging freely. It was tight at first and you had to move it back and forth and such (per Toxonics suggestion) to get it loosened up. But then it was noisy.

I got the toxonics pendulum on my bow. It has two pins along with the pendulum.
It buzzes at the release, it is the pendulum part that buzzes, I know I took it off and the buzz went away. but I use it anyway, doesn' t seem to matter. Took a deer last Friday with it 18 yards away. It will be on the bow until it breaks.

I have read about the noise issues with these sights at several different locations. I am beginning to wonder if i even really need a pendulum since i dont go very high in the tree (approx 12 ft max).

Thanks for the input.

Ditto on the noise toxonics sent me a new one after I complained about the noise. Unfortunately the new one buzzed just as much I tried limbsavers and other things. At the time I just got a new bow and the noise the sight made irritated the heck out of me.
I did' nt feel the pendellum offered me any kind of advantage. I traded it for a HybridIV. I now shoot with a sightmaster Elite micro II with a touchmaster.

one question for the guys who experienced the buzzing - was this with the model that has the harmonic dampener or one without?


thanks

I HAD a toxonics sniper before unloading it on another forum. It didn' t have enough verticle gang adjustment for my set up. (only 2.25" if I remember correctly and I needed 2.5" ). I went with a savage pendulum which has much more verticle adjustability.
