I'm right handed so I can sit for shots to my left but have to stand for ones on the right. Problem is I've been busted too many times trying to sit for a shot that didn't present until the deer crossed over to my offhand side. Now I stand as soon as I think there is something coming in that I want to shoot, no matter what side it's coming from.

I'd say I'm around 50/50. I've shot quite a few while standing and sitting. I actually try to position myself in the tree to have the deer on my left side (right handed shooter) so I don't have to stand. However, while hunting, I do like to stand a lot, especially at first and last light when movement is up.

I'm almost always standing. The only exception is when I'm in my ladder stand. It's not that I'm uncomfortable taking a sitting shot, I just like to be standing. In most of my sets, I can rotate much freely side to side. I think it all comes down to personal preference and comfort.

I do both, but prefer to stand because of the unpredictability of deer movement. I want to be able to adjust. That being said, I feel very comfortable shooting while sitting and put a perfect double lung on a doe at 25 yards a couple years ago while sitting. If I remember correctly I shot a 6 pointer from sitting last year at about 10 yards because he came up onme so fast I couldn't stand. Anyways, I feel it is in our best interests to practice both.

I love my wb i like how you can set it and forget it. my only gripe about it is it is hard on the vanes. i like being able to put the arrow in and lay the bow down on my lap and not have to mess with my arrow when the moment of truth comes.
