That's a tough question. I think all the practice is great
for getting to know our Excals. Although when it's time
for the moment of truth it's about yardage and especially
shot placement. Making sure the exit wound is in the vital
area! I'll admit I'm a hypocrite writing this right now! Everything
sometimes happens so fast. What I've learned in Vbow hunting
was if I've made it to the point that I came to full draw it was game
on! That was half the battle getting to full draw without getting
busted! It's been a short career for me with the Xbow and I tell
myself I have a little more time. So shot placement is huge knowing
your bow is just as important! They say "practice makes prefect" not
much more you can say!

I shoot mine the same as a rifle. Site in on a feed sack on the hood of the truck and all my stands have rails for shooting on.

I hunt from the ground... I sit while waiting, but as soon as I see something, I stand and free hand it. Always like the versatility of being able to move where and when I want / need for shot placement. I feel too restricted sitting or in a stand.

I usually shoot from sitting in a chair in my tower stand or from sitting in a ladder stand, it is always freehand. And sometimes standing up in the ladder stand to turn to take a shot.
