Default RE: Sitting or standing.....What do you do?

I spend most of my time sitting with my bow in hand. I find that I have MUCH less movement when I'm sitting. I use my hearing and eyesight to pick up deer movement and I slowly stand to make my shot. Sometimes I get caught and have to make a shot sitting, that's ok and I have killed plenty of deer from the seated position.

I find that there is far less movement with the bow in my hand. I don't have to reach for anything, it's already there I simply attach my release (sometimes it already is attached) slowly raise then draw my bow. I never have to take my eyes off of the deer.

If I feel like standing I just stand stright up and the bow basically doesn't leave my lap. If you try this you will find that the bow will pretty much stay in it's same position because as you stand up your arm extends naturaly, keeping the bow in it's same basic position. Again I am in a perfect position to raise, draw and shoot.

The last hour of shooting light you will almost always find me standing with my bow in hand and release attached. Things can happen real fast in those last minutes of light.
