ive heard John Eberhart mention on several occasions that he never target practices from the ground because he doesn’t want to have to worry about bending at the waist to ensure that his form is the same as when shooting from the ground.
He said that if you target practice from the ground and then get ready to shoot from a tree, you must pull back on your bow and then bend at your waist (without slouching forward) before shooting or you’ll shoot a few inches high.
From the way he makes it sound, it has nothing to do with having a rangefinder with angle compensation but is a form issue.
I know John always seems to go the extra mile in everything he does, but does anyone else notice a difference in their shooting from a tree after having target practiced from the ground? Just wondering how vital it is to only target practice from an elevated position.
