Thanks for all the info. so far.

Now to your second question. If youplan to hunt from a stand, you need to practice shooting from an elevated position regardless of whether you choose to sit or stand. My bowseason begins about the second week of September. I start the first week of July shooting several arrowsa weekfrom a tree stand at 3d targets. There are 3 of usand eachhas our own 3dtargets. One gets in the permamnent built stand(made specially for practice), while the other twoset the targets at different angles and distances for each shot. It's themost realistic and beneficial practice that I have used for bowhunting. This sounds like a great way to practice.

Someone "nailed" my biggest concern when they said if the deer comes up on my left (right handed Shooter). From the sitting position there is no way I could shoot to the right of my body. I am planning on doing moreelevated shooting this summer.

What are the things to keep in mind when shooting from 20'-25'? I have heard that the norm is that POI will be a little higher? Fixed Sights. The pendulum site looks interesting but is not in my future...for now, Like the guy says " I think I am one gadget away from Victory!"
