This get's a lot of mention on the forums, most often by people who have never sat in a stand for a few hours w/ an 8 -11 lb xbow. Not their fault, it's a logical assumption, but the fact of the matter is raising the relatively speaking cumbersome beasts to shooting position entails plenty of movement. Some hang them on hooks, some rest the stirrup on the foot platform, few hold them for hours on end.

Some stands have rails around them that offer the possibility of shooting from a rest. Getting an often hollow composite stock to rest or slide on a metal tube steel rail is a lot like playing the drums while trying to be quiet, lol.

I stick to 30 yds on deer and prefer 30 feet. I use mine during gun season and for turkey because I like the challenge of hunting w/ a centuries old weapon.
