Shooting off right side for a RH hunter. #31316

This may sound dumb but I'm trying to find the best way to shoot to my right side. My harness strap always gets in the way when I stand up to shoot that way. I was just wondering what is the best way to get around this. I can't change my stand position but would like to be able to shoot one if he sneaks up on that side, and I definately want to stay connected to the tree. Any thoughts?

If you secure your harness above your stand about three feet and adjust your lifeline rope so it extended all the way out when you sit down, it should allow you turn around in your stand and not interfere with a shot to the right, unless you have a head the size of watermelon.

Attach your strap lower, so when you stand up, the strap is about even with your beltline.
That way it falls down and out of the way.

That's why I use a safety "Belt" for bow hunting.
I am not saying you should use a belt, because a harness is much safer and less likely to cause injury.
But the belt is my personal choice because it allows me more freedom of movement.

Use a harness with a longer rope. The setup that came with my summit stand works great. Put the rope around the tree about head height and with a little extra length, it'll curl down behind you with room to shoot to the right.
