Just got back into bowhunting after 12 years off. I never used a safety harness back in the day but started using one when I got back into it (older and wiser). Just got done with opening weekend (no deer yet) and I have a question. While checking for mobility/shootability on the stand I noticed that if I turn to my right (right handed, drawing arm near tree) the tether gets in the way of the draw. I could manage it by making sure the tether was on top of my shoulder before drawing but then it got in the way of my anchor point. What do you do to keep the tether out of the way when shooting to the right? Any help appreciated...
I like to have it as close to my head as I can that way I can move and if I do fall its only a short drop.
Buy the hunter safety system rope style tree strap. Can work with any brand harness and allows you to shoot 360 just by adjusting the prusik knot up or down. Best $20 I ever spent.
Just got one this week but already had the flat strap in the tree. I'll try it next weekend. I also got my wife to help me measure tether height while sitting and I had it about a foot too low. Thanks for the tips!
