View from the stand 2017
ksnow:
That sucks Osage. Its amazing how small the vitals become when the angle increases like that. I am determined to limit myself to high percentage shots.

Ed I think you meant to say bj not Brad. I practiced a lot from a tree stand in my back yard this year. If i shoot the way my wheelie bow shooting brother showed me I'm right on at any distance. If I don't I'm way high. I also shot from every stand I put up. I might start another thread on this but I just plain guffed up on this one. It was all my bad.
That's great news Kyle. I was really hoping you'd give it a go. It's fun even if you don't shoot and you really can learn a lot from watching and getting close to these animals. I know exactly what you mean about those chipmunks. They are quite the alarm system. I always figure if the chipmunks, crows and turkeys don't spot me I've got a pretty good chance the deer won't either.
Osage I think I'm going to start another thread on shooting from elevated stands. I'd like to pick a few people brains. I know what you mean at that poor angle. I did that last year.

If it was easy everybody would be doing it.It takes more talent/time/and patience to get them this way and sometimes it just plain won't work out,but when it does it's pretty darn satisfying.

shooting from a stand is not that far off topic I dont think anyone would mind a few thougths on that,,is is different ,, but you do have a great advantage of being able to draw without being seen,, not always,, but sometimes,,, :)

I haven't shot from a elevated tree stand in a long time. But when I did I would concentrate bending at the waist and not just moving your arms down. the angle between your head and arms/shoulders need to be consistent with standing on the ground.
