Outdoorsman's Tip Of The Day (Shooting From a Treestand)

When archery hunting from a treestand always draw your bow and anchor with your body straight before aiming down to get the right angle for a shot. Also remember when you aim down to bend your torso at the waist while keeping your head and hands positioned the same at all times. DO NOT simply aim the bow down. If you have ever wondered how come you missed an easy bow shot from the treestand chances are it is because your shooting form is wrong. To test this theory take your bow, now point it down as if going to make an angled downward shot from a raised treestand now draw and anchor as normal, now hold that exact position and raise up as if to shoot towards a ground level target. What you will find is that your bow hand is quite a bit lower than your normal shooting position which explains why your arrow won't hit its mark.
