    Yes, but it becomes much harder if there's a monster buck in bow range.

    I prefer shooting from a sitting position.
    Less movement

    Yeah without a problem. I actually practice from a situation position often. Just some shots from the stand that are best suited based on lanes and cover to take place from a seated position for me.

    Yes , I acually prefer to sit and shoot. I have always practiced sitting and standing and every now and then laying down on my back, because you never know when you may have to :lol:

    The test isn't from a seat, it's from a legs out front position like Tfox posted. If you can't pull your bow back while on a seat... there's something seriously wrong with you.

    I can draw my bow back while my rump is planted on the ground. Kinda hard to shoot that way because my bow is bit on the long side. (tried that on a deer... bottom limb slammed the dirt)
    I still skypull and generally have bad form. The equalizer has a hard cam too which does nothing for my smoothness. :)

    I got a squirrel the other day sitting on the porch rail from about 30 yards. I use the G5 SGH broadheads and they work assume.

    Absolutely. I can even hold pin on target during draw while seated.

    This new bow pulls so much easier than my old bow did at 60#'s.

    I don't know why but with my Z7x at full draw at shooting position my lower back muscle right side felt like it was going to rip out.
    That bow seemed to have the jumpiest cam ever if you relaxed even for a second it was going ready or not.
    Not bashing Mathews cause when they come out with a smooth dual cam Heli-m with a decernable valley and dwell zone I will buy it.

    Too much draw weight, poundage or serious form issue

    I can draw 80# while sitting, I just have to turn my shouders to square my torso to my target.

    Same dwaw weight only diffrence that I can see is holding weight between the two bows

    I probably could draw 80 one time my shoulder is a little messed up but I wouldn't want to do it 40 times a day
