as above if you are going to hunt from a treestand then you should practice from a tree stand or elevated position. I was watching a show about a guy giving tips about hunting tree stands which he always hunts from so during the off season he practices off his garage and shoots at his 3d target in his backyard. it was kind of funny because here is this guy in full camo shooting from his garage while his neighbours are bbqing next door think oh my god what kind off neighborhood did we move into(sorry a little off topic)
