Default Put your safety belt up high!

I was hunting last night and a buck came in on my right (I shoot right handed). I had to stand up and turn towards that side. When I pulled back just as he was stepping into my window of opportunity my elbow got stuck in the safety belt. I kinda panicked and rushed the shot with very bad form and missed the buck. So put those belts up high so you don't make the same mistake!

Default RE: Put your safety belt up high!

My first night out this year I got up in my stand, put my belt on, and sat down. About an hour later I stood up for a stretch and decided to check my shooting lanes and draw my bow back. I ran into the same problem you just mentioned and quickly made the necessary adjustments to correct it. Fortunately for me I didn't have it effect my hunt, but it very well could have.
