I was thinking more in the lines of when you target shoot you are standing straight and on level ground etc... a very controlled situation.When hunting, your shot may need to be made from all different angles and positions

I have been to some 3d shoots where I had to pull every trick in the book out to complete the course.
The ground is as a rule far from level, you have up and down shots, shots from the kneeling position and some courses even have platforms to shoot from.
The only place at some 3d courses that is level is the static line where you warm up
Now indoor spotsthats different and boring to just warm up then shoot 50 arrows at 20 yards.
Ausie-guy,
Well, Thatshows you just how many 3D courses I've shot......ZERO!
Oh well, I thought it was the same as indoor shooting with everything done from a flat surface. I guess I need to check it out sometime.
I practice on anything from level ground to shooting from out of my tree stands and I know good form helps me with the more difficult positioned shots.
As far as bows go, I must say I'm very happy with the Mathews Switchback LD as far as it's brace height (9in) andriser design with it being a whole lot more deflected than most bows on the market today.......it's almost straight.While still maintaining good speed, this combinationmakes it a very solid platform to shoot from and a very very good hunting bow!
