I hunt and shoot from the sitting position. I set up all my stands for this position. I try to keep bow in lap with arrow knock and ready, if I see deer or hear before they are in range I slowly move into position, but in sitting position. The overriding disavantage to the sitting position I have experenced is a deer directly below me, you cannot shoot from this position. I normally just wait till they move to a better shooting area. I find that I can hunt longer and quieter.
