So I have two bow stands and four box blinds, on tv they seem to be 24 feet high, but all the stands I have seen are 10 ft to maybe 20, for you long time bow stand guys, how high do I need to be?
I'd say there isn't a right height but there is a better height for best shot angle and that of course is low. By low I mean 12-15 feet.
Yes, your shot zone gets smaller as you go up, but if you shoot at 25yds out Vs 5yds out....not an issue.
Generally 18-25 ft. But have been higher and still been able to reach out and touch the mountain I was hunting on. Don't do that much anymore as my equilibrium can't handle the carnival ride anymore once the winds pick up.
