Pendulum Sight
Question:
I am considering the purchase of a Keller’s Pendulum Sight. I would like comments on the effectiveness of this sight. Accurate? Quiet? Worth it? Thanks! Jeff
Response:
Noisy, but work OK. There are other new quiet versions on the market that some say are better.HHA or Savage. Maybe another reader has experience with these? I shoot fixed pins. —
Response:
I have heard of a bow sight that uses a pendulum for it’s "pin". The reason, as I understand it, is to automatically correct the for the target for shooting from an elevation (or depression, I guess). Do I understand this correctly? Has anyone tried one? If it does indeed do as I understand, I WILL be attaching one to my bow this season. I had a couple of incidents where I didn’t practice from my particular tree stand and my accuracy was impacted because of this. It was my first year bow hunting and I failed to account my sight for shooting from a tree stand. Also, do you need a peep for this type of sight? I don’t have/use a peep (rifle or bow) – what are the pros/cons to a peep? Does it operate on the same principles as that on a rifle? Thanks. Joe in WI
Response:
Joe, the keller pendulum is a great sight, for those who lack confidence and do not practice from heights. My friend paid 75.00 for one and he still missed a number of times. I, use a peep with two pins top pin is for 20 yards and under the second pin is for 35 yards. This covers me from 0-40 yards any thing farther and I do not shoot. At 5 to 10 yards you hold a little low near the brisket. At 40 yards you put the pin on the backbone or top of the deer. Nothing beats knowing your bow and its (your) inadequacies. Good Luck!Baby Hippo1 rec. outdoors outdoor adventure
