I think the safety device is great piece of equipment ,but I do agree that it hinder's while preparing for that ultimate shot .Regardless I'll wear mine in most situation's but there has been time's I'll leave it behind. The only thing i can say is that an accident can happen at any time and I'd sooner miss out on a shot than to fall and injure or even die from not wearing it. I use my harness all the time when using my climber or fixxed stand's ,biut when i'm in a ladder stand I feel much more comfortable and don't find that i need to use it .I know even in a ladder stand you can fall ,but I feel much more secure in the ladder stand.
