It seems to me that alot of the hunters on tv are perched pretty high in the tree so maybe they think they can get away with it. I usually only hunt between 12 to 16 feet off the ground and I wouldn't dream of skypulling. I haven't been picked offdrawing in about 12 years (knock on wood) and I take pride in that, I have a smooth, straight back draw. I practice with my bow maxed (72lbs) and about a month before the season turn it down to 65lbs.I can hold at full draw for two minutes (timed) without any shaking or tirednessand shoot the kill zone. I gained almost 25 seconds by turning it down to 65lbs. Luckily I haven't had to hold back that long, but the deer I shot last year decided to turn the wrong way after I drew, I passed up an iffy shot and I sweated it out for about a minute until he gave me the shot I wanted (I made a heart shot on him). It is a comforting feeling for me to know if I get stuck at full draw I can hold it for a while and still make a quality shot. I'm a big guy about 6'3" and 280 and my buddies question why I "only" draw 65lbs and now that I'm older and hopefully wiser I tell them that is what I'm comfortable with.

I practice every shot with the slow, smooth straight drawback, when I'm shooting and usually end with the stuck at full draw shot.
