good point.
platform piviot..
set up a decline target off the deck.
that way I can sneak out for a couple..


They had a big elevated platform years ago at a F&W area.
It allowed one to practice comfortably and safely from it.

Honestly, I just shot a few from a treestand way back, for a few shots and learned how things felt different, accepted it and never worried or practiced it again.

IMHO its the 10 yard and in stuff that poses the biggest difference.

When people shot fingers theyd see a deer at 20 and follow it in to 10, lowering bow arm while holding same anchor.
Changing finger pressures.

That and holding pin on wrong spot, made a lot of shots go high.

Bend at the waist, and aim where you are supposed to smile

Half way up on a broadside out a ways aint the same as halfway up when you are seeing more of the back when they are closer.

Have not shot elevated practice for decades. Dont need to
Recurve or wheels i do just fine

Still like em NOT at the base of my tree. Out a little is easier.
