Think I'm gonna stick with the Ramcat broad heads again this year! Also looking into a range finder this year, any good ones?

Exactly what I do also. For bowhunting I see no need for a ultra-expensive rangfinder. My older Bushnell Yardage Pro works great. Range trees around me and put it back in my pack.If using for archery, just get a cheap one and range the trees around you, then put it away. If you're the average Archer, 35 yards is your average shot distance. Really no need to know the deer is 400 yards away in the field.

Umm.... your math is not accurate.Except when your 25’ up and you range the deer for 30 and the cut is 23yds and you shoot over him.

Most people miss shots from angles while bow hunting because they do not bend at the waist when shooting. Instead the only move their arms.
I have shot deer both sitting and standing. Most deer I have killed with a bow have been standing, but that is because I stay standing while in the tree stand the majority of the time. I am always standing the first hour or so and last hour of so of light. I rarely sit for more than 10-15 minutes at a time every hour. I don't know why. I guess I am just too restless to sit for long periods like that. Also, I rarely hunt higher than 20', and most of the times, I hunt at about 15'. My shot angles are usually made steeper by topography and not my height in the tree. That is another reason I don't climb very high. When hunting mountainous terrain, I can be 12-15' up a tree but be 40-50' above where the deer are traveling due to terrain.I agree but now I'm wondering. I guess I could start another thread but I'll ask here. How many people stand up to shoot? I always practice sitting in a chair and have always shot deer from a sitting position. The only time I can recall ever standing up was to get a shot at a deer straight behind me. I like to stay seated to avoid getting caught moving but then I can see where you could stand if you spotted the deer early enough coming in. I have just always preferred to shoot while sitting and it has always worked great for me.
