tedicast Posted March 29, 2005 Report Share Posted March 29, 2005 I prefer sitting because I can sit longer, and stiller, than I can stand. If i can. I will stand if I see a deer aproaching, but have no trouble shooting from a sitting position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jerdanmagic Posted March 29, 2005 Report Share Posted March 29, 2005 Re: Which do you prefer?????????????????????????????? I prefer to sit just because its more comfortable, and I can last longer in the stand. But I feel more comfortable shooting from a standing position, so if at all possible I try to stand up while a deer is coming in. You know, wait till he's behind a tree and he can't see my movement.

buckee Posted March 29, 2005 Report Share Posted March 29, 2005 Re: Which do you prefer?????????????????????????????? I've shot a lot more deer with my bow from a sitting position, than I have standing. It a ground blind, I have no choice, but in a treestand, I prefer to remain seated, unless I see the deer coming a long ways off and have the opportunity to stand without getting busted. It doesn't really maatter to me, sitting or standing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swamphunter Posted March 29, 2005 Report Share Posted March 29, 2005 Re: Which do you prefer?????????????????????????????? Sitting. I feel nervous about leaning (yes, even with my belt) from a tree or putting my foot in the wrong spot and falling. I prefer to have my butt firmly planted on the seat.

JimT Posted March 29, 2005 Report Share Posted March 29, 2005 Re: Which do you prefer?????????????????????????????? Standing for me also. I feel more comfortable standing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted March 29, 2005 Report Share Posted March 29, 2005 Re: Which do you prefer?????????????????????????????? I much rather prefer standing. It allows me to move and stay on the target as things change. I don't care if they come around the wrong side of the tree if I am standing.

MUDRUNNER Posted March 29, 2005 Report Share Posted March 29, 2005 Re: Which do you prefer?????????????????????????????? I like to shoot sitting in my lock on stands and standing in my climbers if i think i can stand up without being caught. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckbuster11 Posted March 29, 2005 Report Share Posted March 29, 2005 Re: Which do you prefer?????????????????????????????? I prefer to shoot standing because thats how I shoot 95% of my practice arrows. Sometimes I dont get a chance to stand and I've shot quite a few sitting down though.

Rhino Posted March 29, 2005 Report Share Posted March 29, 2005 Re: Which do you prefer?????????????????????????????? It really doesn't matter to me with a compound bow in a tree stand. I spend about as much time standing as I do sitting so it just depends on how I'm positioned when a deer approaches. In a ground blind I always shoot from a sitting position. With a recurve, I have to stand up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c_lou Posted March 29, 2005 Report Share Posted March 29, 2005 Re: Which do you prefer?????????????????????????????? I prefer to stand for bow. I guess I should really practice shooting while I am sitting down. That will be my goal for this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orion_70 Posted March 29, 2005 Report Share Posted March 29, 2005 Re: Which do you prefer?????????????????????????????? I prefer shooting while standing, since I use a long axle to axle bow, but will shoot sitting if I have to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MCH Posted March 30, 2005 Report Share Posted March 30, 2005 Re: Which do you prefer?????????????????????????????? I prefer standing. I practice from a sitting position, though. It's more cumbersome for me out of my Summit with my 37 inch Bear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThethirdI Posted April 4, 2005 Report Share Posted April 4, 2005 Re: Which do you prefer?????????????????????????????? I suppose it depends on the apex of the sun to the horizon as my vertical hemulater stretches. Seriously though... I practice in every position I can think of that might become a reality in the woods. I like to keep my options open.The first deer I ever shot was sitting down and shooting backwards and it only went 40 yards. After that I made sure that I practiced from every possible position.

longislandhunter Posted April 4, 2005 Report Share Posted April 4, 2005 Re: Which do you prefer?????????????????????????????? I can shoot sitting if I have to, but I'd really rather stand. I usually stand up as soon as I deer that I even think might come in my direction. If they do I'm ready. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
