The Keller Pendulum Bow Sight is a precision instrument. It has been developed and tested over
the past 18 years. Used by experienced bow hunters, it has proven to be the best hunting sight
available today.
The Keller Pendulum Bow Sight is designed to automatically calibrate distance when used from
an elevated position of 12 feet or greater. It works, and will work every time. This, or no other site,
is accurate without a consistent anchor point. If the bow user anchors correctly and releases
correctly, the arrow will hit where the bead indicates. Location of the anchor point is important
for hunting. (A good reference point would be to release aid or first finger placed in corner of
mouth at full draw.)
If installing a peep sight, it is suggested that placement in string be determined while at full
draw, with arrow located at corner of mouth. Approximate distance will be 4" from centerline of
arrow to centerline of peep.
MOUNTING OF BOW SIGHT AND BRACKET
- With sight mounted in slot of bracket, lock the pendulum in straight-up #1 position by using
the screw in bottom of sight.
(See figure 1)
Look through holes in side of sight and make sure screw is in notch before tightening. When locking
pendulum in any chosen notch, bottom lock screw should be positioned into half moon cut out.
- Mount sight-bracket on right hand side of bow for right handed bows. CAUTION! OVERTIGHTENING
OF STUDS IS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY!
(see figure 2 for settings)
- 45 to 60 lb. bows use holes A.
- 60-70 lb. or over bows use holes B.
- Any bow exceeding 280 ft./sec. use holes C.
- With arrow loaded in bow, adjust threaded screws on sight so the beads are in line with the
center of the arrow. This is only a starting point for sight location. Position will be exactly
determined upon shooting bow, due to torque applied in a drawn position.
(See figure 3)
- Unlock the pendulum to swing freely by backing screw in bottom of sight all the way out into
locking position snug. (Counter-clockwise)
- Draw bow and aim parallel with ground, or slightly higher. Looking at the pendulum in sight,
the top of the pendulum should be straight in line with eyesight. In other words, pendulum in
sight needs to be parallel to line of draw, and line of sight. To simplify, when at full draw and
anchored, sight down the backbone of pendulum. At this time you should not be looking at the beads,
only the flat, straight portion of pendulum, just as though you were aiming a pistol barrel with
no sights. (See figure 4)
- If not: Lock pendulum in #1 slot position. Bend 10 x 32 threaded mounting screws (studs)
slightly to align. Unlock pendulum, draw bow, anchor, and check for alignment. Repeat if
necessary. DO NOT BEND THE PENDULUM!
NOTE: The handle section on some bows will twist slightly (torque) when bow string is pulled
to fully drawn position. If this is the case, align pendulum in fully drawn position only.
TO ZERO-IN FOR HUNTING FROM ELEVATED POSITIONS AND GROUND LEVEL
- Lock pendulum in #4 notch and zero-in at 20 yards standing on the ground. This step is primarily
to zero left and right.
- From an elevated position standing on 12 feet or more, have target set at about 12 yards out, or
midrange. Unlock the pendulum until it swings freely and the screw snugs in counter-clockwise
position. Aim with top bead.
- Shoot. If elevation is off, slide up or down in slot of bracket until you shoot on at 12 yards,
or 1 inch high for maximum yards. Take shot and follow arrow. If arrow hits low, lower sight. If
arrow hits high, raise sight in bracket. When adjusting elevation, loosen only the outside nuts to
slide sight up or down. Inside nuts will maintain proper left and right setting. Continue adjustment
until perfection is reached.
- You should be accurate + or - one inch from tree stand to 25 to 30 yards out, depending upon
bow poundage, arrow speed, etc. Using top bead only and pendulum swinging freely, the pendulum will
automatically calibrate any change in distance from 0 to maximum range. All you do is shoot top
bead...forget about the yardage, the sight will take care of that. Just concentrate on
getting off a good, clean shot.
- With previous steps accomplished, you are now ready for tree stand hunting with the best accuracy
and confidence you've ever had. You now can determine distance for ground shooting and ground
practice. From this point forward, do not loosen nuts to adjust. Lock pendulum in #4 notch. Step
off approximately 18 yards. Take a shot. If your shot was a little high, continue to increase
distance until you determine exact distance which can be obtained in notch #4. Lock pendulum in
notch #5 and repeat previous step, also #6 notch. You'll notice with the pendulum locked in notch
#6, the pendulum movement is spent. But now, the bottom two beads have fallen directly vertical
beneath pivotal. These beads are used for extreme distances.
KELLER PENDULUM BOW SIGHT WITH LIGHT
The Keller 2000 is equipped with both KryptoNight beads and the original light for low light
situations. The KryptoNight is activated by placing a flashlight (or any white light) close to the
bead for 3 or 4 seconds. In low light, the bead will glow a soft, blue-green color with very
little, if any, halo around the bead, enabling your eyesight to penetrate beyond the bead to view
target.
The longer you hold flashlight on bead, the longer it will glow, but also the brighter the bead
becomes, and may become blinding, not letting focal point pass to target. In the event KryptoNight
becomes too bright, simply turn on light on sight to eliminate glow.
