The first couple of deer I shot, I stood up and then I tried drawing my bow sitting down and thought it seemed pretty easy. I've probably killed 20 sitting. Most of my stands have a pretty small opening to shoot which right in front, so I really have no need to be able to move around that much. When I see a deer, I just get my bow ready and shift my body to make the shot. I seem to be able to hold steady better sitting, too. When I practice, I shoot standing, go figure.

i feel more comfortable shooting sitting down because of less movement but i practice both ways

i agree with everyone else always stand if u can soon as u see deer coming your way, but it wouldnt hurt to practice shooting while you are sitting, because i have killed deer setting in the stand because they never gave me a chance to stand without being busted

If I'm in a treestand I shoot sitting. I have a much more solid platform when sitting. When you're knees are shaking like mine you're better off sitting LOL!

I all honesty I practice both but my pin is steadier when I sit. Plus, when you stand up in your treestand you have to devote a certain amount of concentration to keeping your balance on that platform 20 feet in the air. Sitting down means there's one less thing I have to think about when the deer is in front of me.

Plus, I've been busted before trying to stand up - usually by a different deer than the one I'm watching.

I always shoot setting down. I think it's a big advantage because I don't have to move to get into position. I have always felt very comfortable this way. Give it a try.

my question is how do you guys feel about shooting out of a deer blind, this weekend will be the first time hunting out of one, and i'm exited, because i can slightly move around, i just put a bail of hay in there to sit on, whos got experience shooting out of these things?

PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE!!!! I missed a chance at the biggest buck of my life last year because I didn't take practice shots from my ground blind. I was in one of those doghouse tent style blinds. A huge 9 point was 25 yards broadside. When I drew, the tip of my arrow brushed the side of the blind and he bolted. I wanted to vomit I was so disgusted with myself for not practicing and ensuring I had enough clearance to draw my bow.

Also, if you plan on shooting through mesh windows you'd better practice that too.

i hear ya gzg, the thing is, my deer blind is 15 feet in the air, kinda hard to explaing, but i'll get some pictures up this weekend of it!

IF the deer is coming in from my left and I think the shot will be there...I stay sitting. Otherwise I do my best to stand so that I can adjust with the deer if needed. My only deer so far this year has been from a seated position.
Practice both.

I try to stand as much as possible, but some days that is just hard to do all day long. I usually try to sit for 10-15 minutes every so often to give my legs a rest. But I always practice shooting from a sitting position just in case that situation arrises.
