I agree that shooting out of a treestand is a lot different if you haven't practiced. I bought my bow about a month ago and practiced in my backyardbut I shot out of a treestand for the first time Wedensday morning at a 8 point buck 20 yards away. I was going for a lung shot but almost missed the deerlow...I got real lucky and clipped the heart. Hang in there because there is no feeling like harvesting a deer with a bow...I'm hooked!!!
