Standing or Sitting ?
I have been bowhunting for two years now, all of my shots are taken standing up.
This year Im going to practice shootng while sitting [ less movement ] now that I have ashort bow. Do you stand or sit while shooting out of your stand?

I stand most of the time while in the tree. Rarely do I get to sit because of the amount of deer. You will also find you have more shot angles to work with in the standing position. One time in WV I was caught off gard and had to take the shot sitting. I hit it low in the brisket. It was a tough angle.

I always prefer to shoot sitting down, so I practice it all year long. Much less movement to deal with. I'm just as comfortable shooting sitting down as standing up, that's why I prefer the wide open front and sides of a lock on style stand.

I prefer taking standing shots, but I practice shooting from seated and standing positions from every imaginable angle. If I have time to stand and shoot,great but if I don't I'm stil covered. PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE....

I like standing better but practice standing, sitting, crouching and leaning around. Sometimes deer come in like ghosts, especially when the ground is wet.
