I always practiced from a 20" ladder stand. I bought a deer target,it really helped with shot placement. Hunt safe

Not from a stand but my dad's deck is about 12' off the ground and then the yard slopes down hill so that by the time you're 12yds away, you're about 18'-20' above the target.

I've got a 16' ladder stand I built behind my shop and several targets. Folks come from all round to practice from it. Makes a difference.

You don't learn to bend at the waist if you always shoot from the ground.

My porch is about 15' off the ground and ill practice from that. I do have an old lock on that I'll hook to a tree a foot or so from the ground to practice shooting from the small platform and shoot sitting down

Only arrows I've ever shot from a stand were at deer. same, hasn't ever made much difference with me. I know people who put their thick gloves and facemask and all on and shoot in September. Ill pass on that.

I never have. I have always felt if you know your bow you can make the adjustment. Shooting instinctual has its advantages in that way. If you're aiming and adjusting for the height, bend at the waist, pick a spot lower (where tan turns white), and drop a little below that.
I hope we have once again reminded people that man is not free unless government is limited. There�s a clear cause and effect here that is as neat and predictable as a law of physics: as government expands, liberty contracts. � Ronald Reagan
