How do you practice
 
I have two different set up.
I have a chair and a 6 foot ladder to get me in the air.

All three.

I shoot from a stool (turkeys)
I have a 12 ladder stand.
I practice from the ground, standing.

I chose standing for the pole cause that is how i practice the majority of the time, but i do practice from my treestand as well as sitting, kneeling and any other variety or shots i can think of.

I don't hunt from a treestand so I don't pratice that. I try to mix up on stances that would be a most likely scenerio out in the field. I'll pratice standing, kneeling, sitting, snap shooting, etc etc

All three plus kneeling.

Sitting, standing, from an elevated platform, kneeling, leaning around obsticles, drawing almost paralell to the ground and then rising up...

I practice in as many different ways I can think of.

RE: How do you practice
 
usually standing on my deck thats about a foot and a half off the groud. when hunting season gets closed i will start to shoot sitting or kneeling because sometimes i hunt out of a blind.

When its not raining....from the roof:D I practice from a stand, on the ground. I like getting in my stand/roof and having someone on the ground (when I am not watching) relocating my deer at different angles and yardage. This way it gives memore practiceto judge distance/shot placement.

Crutch,
The roof'sa good idea, and I'd do that if my roof weren't 12x12 pitch. I'd get one movingshot off before I slid off the bottom. I practice sitting and standing, both on the ground and from an old ladder stand. I like to practice in the wind also. Sure is hard to hold the bow steady sometimes, but it's good practice.

Chief......12/12 is not a roof.....it's a WALL!!....lol

I like to play "HORSE" w/ my friends when we shoot... It really sparks some crazy shots... Including the common "one footed - draw and shoot",the "I'd never dream of taking a shot this far",and thescary "shoot through so much brush you'll probably never see the arrow again".

We once discussed shooting through your legs... but were afraid somethings could get caught in the string [:-]

It may seem like just fun, but it definately builds your confidence when in the field..

RE: How do you practice
 
When I go to the 3D range , I stand and shoot except for when they have a target that you have to sit and shoot.
When I practice at home in my backyard , I shoot every way possiable sitting , standing , kneeling and even in a treestand I even got up on the roof of my garage. :D

RE: How do you practice
 
Most of the time standing there. As the season nears I shoot from a stand in my yard(also stndaing up). Rarely do I practice from a sitting position. I don't like shooting that way. The only time I practiced it was for turkeys.

monsterbucks2011 02-26-2007 03:48 PM

RE: How do you practice

All the Above :)

RE: How do you practice
 
I do most of my practice from the ground, but when it gets close to season opener I shoot some from a tree.

bloodcrick 02-26-2007 06:10 PM

RE: How do you practice
 
Im all three also, the super slam[8D]but i voted up in the air because that is my favorite

You need an " all of the above" option.

WakeCow 02-27-2007 10:36 AM

RE: How do you practice
 
sitting, standing, kneeling and elevated. But standing/elevated 70% of the time I bet.

drhntr178 02-27-2007 10:41 AM

RE: How do you practice
 
I voted for standing because thats what I do most of the time but I do thow in the rest expecially leading up to the fall.

Those that continue to do, what they have always done, will always get, what they always got. Practice does not make perfect, Perfect practice, makes perfect!

GR8atta2d 02-27-2007 11:54 AM

RE: How do you practice
 
Standing, kneeling, elevated, body contorted, mask on mask off, gloves, clothes..I try and play out all the possible scenerios.

wistickslinger 02-27-2007 12:05 PM

RE: How do you practice
 
any way i can think of that might help


StealthyOne 02-27-2007 12:21 PM

RE: How do you practice
 
I voted standing because I do that the most. I practice any way that I can.
I am about to set up an indoor range in my apt. Just grabbed my target from the cottage on the weekend and figure I can at least keep my muscles conditioned, even if the 12 yd shot isn't too challenging. :eek:
