RE: Ground blind ideas
I gotta be off of the ground a ft or 2 to shoot accurately. How do you guys shoot a bow with your butt touching the ground? Not to mention shifting will cause noise with leaves.

RE: Ground blind ideas
Don I can't shoot my trad bow with my butt on the ground....but the noise issue I eliminate really quickly (as I do when I'm in any ground blind). I shift the leaves out from under me when I set up.....and get to bare earth.

RE: Ground blind ideas
I feel that when I go to the ground from a tree, I have severely eliminated my shot opportunities, due to the view has dramatically been restricted, not to mention clean lanes for arrow flight. And that is sitting 2- 2 1/2 ft off of the ground. I am not going to handicap myself anymore and lower myself down another 2- 2 1/2 ft and sit on my butt. Treestands are more successful than ground hunting, mainly, due to increased shot opportunities. The treestand hunter will out kill a ground pounder ANYDAY. Elevation is the ticket, is what I am sayin'.

The storm had everything hunkered.No shots on the does..2 far. I brought the Tribute out for the rest of season..it was feeling ignored since the new Guardian came into the scene. |
