Default Shooting from a ladder

I live inthe city and don't have access to my hunting site (3 hours away). So, I have come up with the idea of shooting from a 8 foot ladder to simulate shooting from a tree stand.

Elevated practice is very important, but just like being in a tree stand, make sure it's secure and wear a harness. Just be careful. I actually shoot out of my kids swing set fort, which is about 10 feet.

Yeah, LOL!!!! I try to be as careful as possible, but I may win a Darwin award before it is all over. I want to do it safely, any thoughts? Let me guess, don't do it HAHAHA.

A guys gotta do what a guys gotta do. When I lived in Nashville, TN I didn't have any place to shoot. The church where I worked had a great gym and used scaffolding to replace light bulbs...See where this is going? INDOOR RANGE!!! It was the best---climate controlled too. Thank the Lord He led me back to the country!
