I can shoot sitting down just not directly to my right. It would have been physically impossible to shoot that buck sitting in my position. Thanks for the advice I will stand from now on and just make sure that green strap is real tight. I was thinking about standing when I saw the buck but I did not want to spook this buck. I ended up trying to draw (which is how i found out it was impossible) and this akward position made my arrow fall of an the buck looked up and spooked! So I learned a couple of leasons and just wanted to make sure I could stand up w/o slipping even if close to the tree.

One more thing one thing I hate about standing is the fact that you have to hold your bow. Where do you put it?
