I have a PSE Pendulum Treestand sight. I just had it put on the other day and this is the first time I've ever used one of these sights. I know that you're suppose to sight in on the ground at 20 yards and then it should be good from a treestand at 30 yards. My first couple of shots were hitting just underneath the bullsye on my target. I noticed that my arrow rest and slid to the left a little bit so I had to move it back to the right so it was in the correct positon. When I started shooting again my arrows were going well right of my aiming point. I've always heard that you chase your arrow when adjusting your sight. My arrow rest is in the correct position and the sight as a whole cannot move horizontally to the right anymore. It's as far as it can go. Remember this is a Pendulum sight. So, now this is where I need some advice. ( I know this is difficult because you guys can't see my sight ) What should I do or try? Am I wrong about moving your sight in the direction that you're missing? I'm still a little new to some of this so any help would be greatly appreciated! C. H.

Moving your sight in the direction of the arrow is the correct! But the drop of your arrow all depends on the speed of your bow. Even with a pendulum sight? I know the manufactures all tell you the if you sight it in at 20yrs on the ground that it will shoot dead on out of a tree out to 30yrds. It is not true for all bows. Also make sure you are bending at the wast when shooting even with a pendulum sight you still have got to do that! If you don`t! This can also make you shoot low. Good luck!!

I have a savage pendulum sight it works awesome. No need to worry about choosing which pin to use cuz you only have one, plus it takes the angle out for you when in a tree.

To answer you question if your hitting left move the sight to the left. If your hitting right move your sight to the right. Sounds like you almost go it sighted in. Good luck.

What bow are you shooting? I shoot a PSE and had to get a spacer to get my sight to adjust far enough to the right. Because of the skinny aluminum riser my Vital Bow Gear sight needed a spacer. (actually 2 of them. they moved the sight about 1/3 of an inch to the right and allowed me a bit of room to adjust it.)

Yep, if you've moved it all the way to the right and you're still hitting right, you're going to have to put a spacer on the sight. A couple of washers would work but I'd go to the archery shop tell them what you've got.

Most sights and bows do not have that problem. Are you sure you are not torquing the bow? Make sure you have as loose of hand grip as possible. If you use a wrist strap make sure it isn't tight. Also, make sure that your bow is centershot properly, you may want to start at a pro shop and center it for you as a good starting point. You also should make sure that you are releasing the arrow correctly, never punch. Other then that check for arrow clearence, and even perhaps cam lean.

Im shooting a Hoyt MT Sport. My savage sight works great. Didn't have to install any spacers.

I'm shooting a PSE Nova. I've taken down 10 deer with this bow. I love the way it shoots. I wanted to try out the pendulum sight to take some of the guesswork out of it.

Had the same problem with my Trophy Ridge Matrix. Trophy Ridge sent me a spacer to place between the riser and the sight. The technical rep indicated that bow riser designs have changed over the last two years and thats why it wouldn't sight in without the spacer. My bow is about six years old. Why they didn't design the sight to fit all bows, I don't understand and I consider it to be a flaw in the design. I am still having problems adjusting the sight vertically. Even when I move the peep sight. I will probably end up sending mine back and trying a Copper Johns sight.
