Default Favorite shooting position.

What are all of your favorite shooting positions? I practice standing, left knee, right knee, two knees, sitting and even laying on my stomach. I seem to shoot more accurate sitting down but sometimes the bottom of my bow hits the ground when I shoot throwing the arrow off course.

Standing or sitting. I'm accurate shooting from a kneeling position but my knees don't work like they used to....[&o] These days, I desperately avoid kneeling whenever possible.

I practise all of them except sitting on my butt flat on the ground. I predominately still hunt so most of my practise is done standing.

Arthur I hear ya about the knees.

For big game, I rarely get a shot standing. So, I practice laying, sitting, etc. I've got a pretty good crouch going even when standing so that my body is lower and not looking like a human. My favorite is shooting around trees, or kneeling down and shooting through holes in bushes.
