Ok me and my dad have been bickering about this. He tells me that a tree arm is better than a bow mount because it doesn't abosorb the shock of the bow. Therefore you can see your impact. My thing is, is that it will be to difficult to move considering my max shot is 30 and for a limited time. What i mean by a bow mount is one that acutually mounts on your bow like ones on a gun. Yes, if might shake a little but you are 99% likely to get your deer on film and maybe the impact. So please can anyone tell me witch is better? Many thanks.
