[rec.hunting] pendulum sight for compund bow

matkowsk%tinton.ccur.com@RELAY.CS.NET (04/04/91)

Has anyone out there ever used a pendulum site for their bow?
I've been considering switching over to one for the upcoming
season for a couple a reasons. In Cabelas catalog it states that this
site automatically adjusts for the angle, distance of target, and height
of treestand. It says "Just aim and shoot". It is a lighted pin site. 

If this site does indeed do what the ad says, then it would increse
my chances for success greatly this year. Being this year is my first bow
hunt, this site would allow me better concentration on other aspects of
the hunt. Conceivably, instead of spending weeks in my backyard up in my
treestand, getting used to adjusting my shots for the hieght and angle factors,
I'll be able to spend more time in the field picking that oh-so critical spot
to place my stand. 

I believe if I use a lighted pin site I would be disqualified from any
Pope+Young records. Frankly, the hell with P+Y! It IS my first season.
I know using a laser site is illegal in NJ, but does anyone know if it
is illegal to use a lighted pin in NJ?
