I dont hunt from trees but its not a bad idea to develop a closer shot with a stronger cant. If you are shooting gap or other type of point of aim system that is fine for that 12 yard and longer but consider those closer shots work on getting a stronger cant that just rests outside of our leg and outside of the tree. I only ground hunt and I have developed two positions one is a more target archery straight up style and the other is a hard cant that I use in smaller ground blinds or when I am hunting from my knees or my dig in seat. I also use a 58 inch tip to tip longbow for 99% of my hunting so that helps.
Before shooting these trad bows from the saddle, I thought the same thing. I currently have a 30" Hoyt RX-5 but I would definitely get a 33" ATA compound in the future!
Lose the platform and use any type of ring around tree steps, your in a hole different shooting angles and mobility is key, i have been hunting traditional from my sling for over 30 years, and practice makes perfect. You got to turn it into a art , by continuance practice, then once mastered your a ninja up there.
That does allow for some better string clearance. However, it does change the angle of how the saddle fits. This is something we are certainly experimenting with. Thanks for the comment! How high do you run your tether when shooting trad?
