RE: Shoot sitting or standing?????
 
Most of my shots are standing simply because I need to turn most of the time to make the shot. I have shot two deer out of the stand while sitting though. It can be harder if you don't practice it.

I practice both so that I can feel comfortable with any situation that I might find myself in. My fist and only deer so far was shot this year while standing up.

I prefer standing, but I have always practiced from a sitting position, you just never know what is going to happen while in the stand, so you better be ready for anything!;)

I shoot either way depending on the situation. I practice both so i'm comfortable standing up or sitting. You really need too be able to do both because each hunting situation poses a different challange. -Koz

I always stand.the first thing I always when I first spot a deer is to stand. I like to get long and tall right against the tree, then I don't look like such a blob up there.

Good Luck!

I shake too much when I stand. I'm really scared of heights, I can stand up in the tree, but I can't get comfortable standing and drawing at the same time.

That is exactly what I do. When I spot a deeror even hear what I think is a deer, I slowly stand up and lean against the tree. When I am ready for the shot I draw as I slowly lean forward.

I don't like to shoot sitting, I have done it but would much rather stand. You can better compensate for the unexpected movementa deer might do when you are standing.

Usually standing also. Have shot several w/ my bow while sitting, but for some reason, I'm more comfortable standing.
