I have a problem when i'm trying to shoot a deer while facing the tree that my stand is in. My saftey harness kinda hinders me from making a shot. Does anyone else with a full body saftey harness have this prob? And if so what can i do to help?

ive been thinking about that too. i havnt had an opportunity that i need to turn around for, well actually i have, but i never got around to standing up and drawing, but when i was checking to make sure i could draw in that direction it seemed like it might be slightly annoying.

What I have found helps me is...

Mounting the tether of the harness high on the tree. (I mount it as high as I can reach my hands over my head while standing.) This allows me to turn a full 360 degrees without getting caught up in the tether at all.

Hope this helps.

you failed to mention the brand of harness you are using i use the fall winds seat of the pants harness and i have not had any problems with any shots facing the tree
