hunting from the ground is very challenging no doubt. at ground level I tend not to call at that range. I just let things happen. At that range if you call they can pinpoint you so easily.

This is a hands free bow holder that holds it in shooting position for you it will be the 15-20 dollars you ever spend on bowhunting.
