I've shot competitively in 3d compound, 3d traditional, and Olympic recurve target and can tell you without a shadow of a doubt that preparing to hunt from a tree stand or even spot and stalk requires MUCH more practice simply because you CAN'T usually get the proper stance so you have to compensate with an "awkward" body position to set your anchor point. I practice from sitting positions and pretty much any position I can think of that may present itself in the field. How many times have you guys been out there and a deer comes in where you have to dang near wrap yourself around your tree to get a shot!? Or when walking in, you see that a deer is around 25 yards off, almost has you pegged and you have to shoot from an almost one footed position from behind a tree. Repetitive stance is fine for target or SOME, not all, 3D competitions (some IBO comps have you wrapping yourself around trees to get to the 10 ring) but it can actually hurt your practice for hunting.
