ladydiehard Posted October 7, 2005 Report Share Posted October 7, 2005 I have a gun stand with a fixed railing all the way around. Its all fixed up with camo and is really nice...for gun hunting. Is it possible to use this stand for bowhunting even though it would require swinging the bow over the railing? Is this just too much movement? Will this cause form problems? The reason I ask is because I keep jumping deer near this stand on my way to my bow stand!!! Its maddening! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hutchies Posted October 7, 2005 Report Share Posted October 7, 2005 Re: Shooting over a railing Can you not stand up and shoot over it. I sit in my summit and shoot over the rail with no problems. I would get up there knock an arrow and try go draw back as if a deer were walking thru and that will answer your question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tominator Posted October 7, 2005 Report Share Posted October 7, 2005 Re: Shooting over a railing I'd pass on that stand, or remove the railing somehow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hutchies Posted October 7, 2005 Report Share Posted October 7, 2005 Re: Shooting over a railing Your bow does not have to be over the side of the railing as long as your arrow has room to pass over the rail then you are fine. Otherwise I would say get a groundblind and setup in that area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest lostiniowa Posted October 7, 2005 Report Share Posted October 7, 2005 Re: Shooting over a railing I would modify it lover the rail so you still get the safety but can shoot your bow. You can get a shooting stick to hep you steady your gun cheaper than you can get a stand to bow hunt out of Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
