Took me 6 or 7 years to figure out that old guy was right. Numerous times over my bow hunting career I’ve had deer slip in and not be able to stand, forcing me to take a shot while seated. One of them was one of my biggest bucks. "I hate rude behavior in a man. I won't tolerate it." Captain Woodrow F. Call ShawBuilt Custom Bowstrings

All the comments about being able to draw while seated with cold weather gear on are spot on. Practice with your system just like you are hunting. Last edited by grundan; 12/25/21 01:06 PM.

I’ve had some shoulder issues and it’s time to be smart about it. I have a 30” draw and with today’s modern bows and arrows I can shoot a 55# bow and get much better speed than the Bear Whitetail that I started out with in 1986.

I like being able to draw smoothly, often shoot seated, and hold it long if need be (80% let off). I think i recall being told by a archery pro shop that bows usually shoot better / quieter with the limbs maxed out.
