Keller is all I use I can hit out to 40 yards with it, it all depends on bow speed how far out you can go. To rackmaster try a keller, if it moves to much for you better see a doctor I have never had mine move to much it is smooth by the time I get on the vitals it is steady, and usually the tree is the thing shakeing.

What is the difference between these pendulum sights and the No-Peep sights? I mean I can use the sight I have just fine. But I would kind of like to try one of these pendulum sights and/or the No-Peep sights. And see how my shooting is..

I have 2 cons:

1. Bowspeed.  When I used a Keller, it was dead on out to thirty yards with a 10 year old PSE.  I would have to imagine that if you were to shoot a newer bow that is throwing arrows around 300fps, it's going to be high at 20+ yards.

2. Dealing with uneveness of terrain.  I have a number of stands I hunt that are on the slope of a hill.  Basically having shots above me 5-10 feet higher than below me.  So if a deer comes in above me, I have to lock the site into place so that it doesn't swing (locked to where it's sighted in at 20) and then unlock it if he gets through me and winds up below me.   I had two very bad experiences about 5 years back with these situations which made me take it off my bow.

First I never hunt where deer will come that high above me that is asking to get winded, your sent will rise and being at eye level with a deer isn't to good either. I always try and place my stands where I will be at least 15 feet above where I want to shoot my deer, on slops I will go above them in the tree even if it means getting 30 feet up in my tree. As for bowspeed they have different holes in the site for different speed of bows, I have had the same site on three different bows and never had a problem with pin piont acuracy just make sure your have it in the right hole. and site it in like the instructions say and it compinstates for bow speed. My slowest bow was a Golden Eagle Predator and it was dead on at 35 yards, Now I have a RedHead XP35 and it is dead on at 40+ yards. the Golden Eagle shot at 219fps and the RedHEad over 300fps, so if you set it up right no mater how fast your bow is it will be on.
