What do you use to rest your gun on when you are up in your stand getting ready to take a shot? I have a few stands that I dont have anything to rest my gun on.

If you own a factory made stand, some come with shooting rests. If you do not, I always find the side of the tree is good when I am standing up. I try and use my elbow resting on my legs when I am setting down.

By the way 1224, what part of Indiana do you hunt? I hunt SE Indiana (Dearborn County).

I shoot off hand 90% of the time and use the tree the rest of the time.

I hunt in the NE corner of Indiana.

use an ez hanger by realtree, they work good

yeah I second the ezyhanger by realtree.... good for bow hunting and rifle hunting. A million uses and counting if you know what i mean.

I bought a shooting rest for my API climber. Works great!

Wrap your sling below your elbow so that it is a snug fit. It should help stabalize your arm and rifle.

If your in or against a tree , The tree is there for most of the angles.
