Got more replies than I expected, thanks. I' ll do what Iv' e done in the past that is Stand in the morning, sit thru the day and stand in the late afternoon. I haven' t tried to shoot while sitting from this stand yet. The only thing in my yard that I can put a stand on is a phone pole. I' ll put it low and give it a try latter this weekend.I agree with what Pahunter said, " watch the bar!" the bar is what scares me espically with a Q2XL. Thanks Jim
