I just wondering how manyof you guys actually sight-inyour bows elevated inyour climber stands orat theactual height you'll shoot from this season?? How much difference does it make shooting from the ground VS 12 or 15ft up??

I have a 12 ft. tower in my back yard that i shoot off of. I dont see any difference whether I'm on the ground on the tower.

the biggest reason people miss from a stand is they do not maintain consistant form.
you have to bend at the waist

I practice from elevated stands and from the ground.


This is exactly why I use a dual purpose pendulum. I can shoot out to 25 yards on the ground using one pin, and from ground levelup to 25 feet high, and out to 32 yardswithout worrying about compensating anything. I know some of you guys have your reasons for not using them but I swear by using a dual purpose pendulum, one that you can turn a lock for practicing in the ground, along with the intended elevated use like the Trophy Ridge Mantis.

Have my pins sighted in on the ground and then I practice from a ladder stand by shooting at a 3D deer.
