Shoot sitting or standing?????
 
Just wondering what you guys do. I've practiced both, but find that shooting while sitting is much more difficult. I'd rather stand to shoot because I'm more comfortable in my ability to do so, but I don't want to spook the animal. I've yet to shoot at a live target from stand with my bow, so i guess I'll see what the situation presents. Thanks.

Im the opposite, id rather shoot sitting down. Less shaky then. All but 2 deer ive ever got have been shot while sitting.

Go with what the situation allows, if you can stand up and you're more comfortable, do it. If you can shoot from your seat and don't want to spook the deer, shoot sitting down. I personally am standing 90% of the time in my stand, don't like sitting to shoot and can see better standing.

I'll stand up if I can but I've killed more while sitting down.

I prefer standing up. But...if the need be, I can shoot sitting down. I practice it in case it ever comes up in a hunting situation.

it depends on the situation and which stand i'm hunting out of...most have been from sitting down....but i always practice from both positions.

I practice standing and shoot while standing in the tree. Wouldn't feel comfortableunless I had practiced the sitting shot frequently. But then, I do not sit down in the stand either unless it is for just a few minutes to reduce fatigue.
