mrincker Posted October 30, 2007 Report Share Posted October 30, 2007 Hey guys just curious if any one here has experimented with any of the newer pendulum sights this year like Summits Hot Dot, Tru Glo's, Or the Trophy Ridge V-Drive and exactly how far out they are accurate. Just looking for some feed back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leo Posted October 30, 2007 Report Share Posted October 30, 2007 I tried a bunch of different pendulum sights years ago. Unless they've come up with something new, they've all got the same problems. They work only out to 30yds. They are a problem if you are not hunting over level ground. (ie. a hillside) You do need to adjust them for different stand heights. Honestly, I think your money is better spent on a rangefinder and a quality pin sight. Practicing from different elevations is the best thing you can do. IMHO, pendulums are NOT the shortcut they are cracked up to be. Give one an honest try from an elevated stand and decide for yourself.

mrincker Posted October 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2007 Leo, I appreciate the info, I am definately not trying to take shortcuts I shoot fixed pins now and have the last 6 years or so. The problem with range finders is unless you get ones like the new Leupold they do not compensate for angles either. I am just seeking out info on the new sights such as the trophy ridge good to 40 dependg on bow speed. Just feeling out the newest and greatist is all.
