    I can’t believe you gave up the best part of the summit seat to sit on a basketball net.
    I like the thought of it sliding out of the way like it does, but I sleep good in that seat. Couldn’t give that up.

    Yeah, I sleep 6 hours and have to space my alarms out 7-8 minutes. If I did 4 minutes I wouldn't know which alarm it was without waking up and looking :lol:

    It’s more comfortable than you think. Also, it lets me sit higher so I can shoot over the rail better, and like you said, it slides back so much easier.

    I do switch back to the Summit seat for gun hunting.

    He’s young. He can handle it. :lol:

    I’ve been averaging about 5 1/2 hours sleep a night since September 5th.

    Of what year? :lol:

    I get on average 6 hours a night, although on my days off I've been averaging more in the 8-9. Once deer season hits I'll average 4 - 5.5 on the nights I hunt the next morning. I'm either preparing things last minute or too analyzing to fall asleep :lol:

    I leave earlier and get home later and sleep less than when I am working, also drive 4 times further, and coworkers say I'm lucky to be off for 10 days in a row...

    I work 5pm to 5am (4:30 now because COVID) Monday through Thursday. I have basically given up switching on weekends.

    Kill one Joe!

    Im up, showered and dressed. It’s 5:00 am, first light is at 6:22. It’s a 5 minute walk to my stand.

    Major movement this morning is forecast for 6:17 -8:17 so this morning has potential.

    Does are valid targets this morning also.
