I know it gets hashed and rehashed. But I’m just getting bowhunting bug again. How high y’all like? I’m gonna try climbing 18-20.
Thought about getting some climbing sticks for lock ons. Is 15 kinda standard for them?

After 15' your sight window starts to diminish due to the angle.

I normally stay about 20 to 22’. Shop around for sticks. The ones I buy come with five 4’ sections. From my experience once you go over 25’, that’s when the angle starts screwing with you.

A lot of the angle depends on how close the animal is when you shoot. The closer the more the window closes. I use 4 lone wolf sticks and I can easily get 18-22 feet Yeah, but you're a danged monkey. Well you smell like one anyways!

I like a tree next to a smaller tree. I'll climb, then swing around so I'm on top of the smaller one. This really breaks the outline.
