Hadn't heard of them...but seems like a flatlander sorta thing if i understand tha concept.Don't know why nobody is mentioning pendulum sights. I've used one for 40 years now and never have a problem out to 30 yards.
What do you mean Flatlander thing. You sight it in at 20 yards yards and when you are in a tree it swings freely and it compensates for distances out to about 35 yards depending on how fast you bow is.Hadn't heard of them...but seems like a flatlander sorta thing if i understand tha concept.

A couple of different companies still make them. HHA I think has one and I use a Tru-glo that also is a one pin slider that you can use for ground hunting. I like the Tru-glo because it accepts a light to help my old eyes at very last light.Showing your age, and mine lol.
My buddy used one many years ago and at the time I didn't have money so never got one. Does anyone make them these days?

I have one for sale in the classified's right now. It is a brand new COBRA pendulum with two pins. I bought it brand new and never used it. Its still in the original blister pack. Many moons ago before I settled on my one pin system, I used a Keller Pendulum bowsight and liked it but I didn't like it in the summer for 3D shooting. Pendulum sights are excellent for hunting though.Showing your age, and mine lol.

I hate to admit it but I've been bowhunting since 1982!Keller pendulum, now that is a blast from the past. That's the one I lusted for back then.
Since 79 here so i don't believe in fairies or heavy slow arrows for Whitetails... My bow shoots a 400 grain arrow @285fps so my 25 yard pin hits 1"high at 15 and is dead on at the base of my tree. I've been poking two holes through deer with fast 1 1/2" OTT flappers for over 20 years now.I hate to admit it but I've been bowhunting since 1982!
Yeah I hear ya but I'm telling you, the VPA 150's I went with this year once you shoot holes through the deer you can just pull them out of the ground, clean 'em up, sharpen them all in 20 minutes and use the dang broadhead again and again. You can't do that with any flapper I've ever used.Since 79 here so i don't believe in fairies or heavy slow arrows for Whitetails...

Yup the VPAs look good, i've been using Carbon Express Torrid SSs and NAP Shockwaves for the last 10 years, they are about $5 a piece so one and done.Yeah I hear ya but I'm telling you, the VPA 150's I went with this year once you shoot holes through the deer you can just pull them out of the ground, clean 'em up, sharpen them all in 20 minutes and use the dang broadhead again and again.

Know what 20 yard pin does at 15 yds and 30. Know what 30 yard pin does at 40. That helpsDid anyone try anything after Ranch Fairy talked about having a 15,25,35 pin set up?
As much as I can’t stand to listen to the guy, the message seemed to hit home. I have hit high on deer before with my 20 pin when they 12 yards or less. Thinking this will help me be lower 1/3 at 20 as well.
Looking for experiences and thoughts?
