            Practice maybe yeah, I do, but I do use discretion where I park my butt.

            Shooting whilst seated oughta be shot when suited…

              Yeppers, I agree. Sitting, kneeling, twisting around. All should be practiced for hunting situations.

              Old as I am though gettin off that stool a pain sometimes:D:D

              Not really, I’m not that bad off 🙄 Just can’t sit cross legged and stand up without holding on to something as easily as I did in days of yore…

                Over a ridge to see what’s there.

                Ahhh! Breathe in the air.

                On a boulder to sit.

                Ha! What a view from it!

                A stone to skip across a pond,

                An arrow to loose,

                That,just for fun.

                The life I love when all is done

                And comes my time to be alone.. R2

                So grateful I am that nature gave me a chance to share with her.

                  Well put Jason. Thanks

                  Yup Steve. Something I never think about mentioning is arrow flight.

                  I’ve been doing this so long that achieving good arrow flight is burned in my brain, a given. I guess sometimes it’s not everyone’s priority like it’s mine.

                  Y’all have great day.

                          Decisions, decisions, decisions.. Life is so full of decisions.

                          Then there’s compromise, compromise, compromise..

                          Mow a little, shoot a little, mow a little, shoot a little.

                          For an old retired lad like myself, there’s no hurry for either on a pretty day.

                          Oh yeah, Shirley’s off and about so no pressure from the better half either. 😉

                            Nuffs enuff from me Robbin. Shoot what you have confidence in, shoot the shot you feel comfortable with and when it goes through the boilermaker you did well.

                            Have fun and do your thing….Ralph.

                              The way it works for real is to put a branch anywhere in between you and the spot you wanna hit and you’ll hit the branch. Murphy’s Law # 39……:D

                                I think you’d best have somewhat of a clue about the “arc of the arrow” to know whether your gonna clear a branch or other obstacle between you and your target.

                                You don’t have to chart it or whatever but your brain needs to do more than decide how high to raise your arm.

                                  I think if you shoot at 30 yards with any weight arrow enough your instincts will become “learned” ( I say educated but I haven’t seen anybody getting any degrees in archery unless they’re self awarded 😀 ) to shoot that distance.

                                  Your arrow will be some slower probably. There is an argument about that also using some FOC so… another chapter…

                                  In days of old using “less efficient” equipment, supposedly, the great archers shot game at much further distances than 30 yards. But they practiced at those yards.

                                  I’m not preaching shooting longer shots but I believe that there are people perfectly capable of shooting them.

                                  The whole world is not made for 20 yard and under shots so practice the longer yardages with your gear then you can determine it they’re in your capability of taking them.

                                  This is one of the topics that can be if, and, and butted til the sun goes down. Someone will always say their way is the only way and that’s fine, that’s the way of the world..

                                  If you can do it, do it, if not don’t shoot.

                                  I’m not a proponent of way heavy arrows anyway, 10 grs. or so per pound of bow weight has worked for me many years.

                                  Not saying that I don’t have some carbon arrows with some weight up front, that’s the only way I can get the stiff suckers to fly to suit me without them being spear length.:wink:

                                  There’s more than one way to skin a cat, just get good at it whichever way of skinning you choose.

                                  Just my thinkin, Ralph
