My first year I used a chair and it was ok. This year I bought a small stool with adjustable legs so you can set it up any way you want. (got it at Dunham's) I shoot comfortably from the stool but what I'm going to do is, when deer startcoming in,I'm just going to slide it outand put it inthe corner. Now I can manuever on my knees. I think you'll find that sitting and shooting is a heck of a lotharder than standing and shooting.At least it was for me. I wasn't nearly as steady as I was in my ladder stand.
