[QUOTE="Carl McCants, post: 1750792, member: 109357"] Yes, and I have that. The issue is this, you either stand up ( like bow hunter has to do) to shoot, or you shoot sitting. Standing, up of course, you don’t have anything to rest the gun on, so you double wrap the rifle strap to get your rifle steady. Standing up gives you a bigger and better swing left to right. In my mid fifties, I’m not as agile as I use to be. I’m strapped to the tree with a safety line, but I’m standing on a 22”x22” platform, recoil comes into play now. If your sitting, you can brace your elbow on your knee to steady the shot, but this gives you a much smaller angle for shooting. I love climbing trees, but it has as many disadvantages as advantages. Again, I am not beating up the Berger VDL hunter at all, just telling my experience with them. On this site you can find a lot post about them both good and bad. [/QUOTE]
