Howdy All,

I’m heading to my stand with a Fred Bear Montana longbow (64” – 50#). The stand is approximately 25 ft up a pine tree. I’ve taken several nice Deer from this stand with a 36” compound bow but this will be my first trip up the tree with the longbow. I’m concerned about clearance and maneuverability and was wondering if anyone hunts this similar setup. The easy answer would be to climb the tree and test it out but unfortunately the stand is 1,500 miles away from me. The tree stand itself has a small 8” seat and a 2.5’ foot plate. The FB Montana bow is center cut so I’m assuming the trajectory will be the same if I have to tilt the bow side to side to get better clearance… right? And is the aim point still low on the Deer to make up for the shoot height of 25 ft? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Take Care.
