Is this a good rest for instinctive shooting? Does it block the view too much? Thanks!

i don't think it blocks the view at all. if you are shooting instinctive you wont be looking at anything but the target. i will tell you that based on the speed of my compound, this rest did not work for me. the rest bounced back up and affected my arrow flight and i was forced to buy a limb driver. if your going straight or recurve, your bow will be much slower than what my hoyt puts out so you should be fine.

You could use it for instinctive compound, but i wouldn't. If you "aim" looking down the arrow then it would block the view. I use it on a hoyt spyder and it doesn't bounce up and hit the arrow. I don't think this would work for a longbow or recurve the sting needs to be pulled downward for it to properly work.

Hi. I am not sure how this rest would do for instinctive shooting. I mounted this on. A compound. For my instinctive shooting I use my homemade longbow with a carved shelf I did. And i don't look down the arrow. I point and shoot. Sorry couldn't be much help.

Yes, those grips making shooting much more comfortable. The trigger guard is covered so it doesn't recoil into your hand.Highly recommended.

Yes, I really like this rest. It is not perfect in every situation, but it is simple, accurate and so far has worked perfectly on the bow I am currently shooting. In fact I used it last weekend to take a very nice tom.

It reclines back far enough that you feel a zero gravity position. It is excellent position if you have back problems. I bought mine to take in our motorhome to sleep in. It works fine. One comment, I need a couple heavy blankets down the back when sleeping in a cool room all night. The webbing may be designed to wick heat away from the body. Ideal for in summer heat. Not for sleeping in a cool room. My back is great when I get up in the morning.

Ergomatic grip is comfortable. Rubberized grip with some plastic. You'd have to really work to make noise with your release. You'd make more noise nock in an arrow. This is a pretty good rangefinder for what I paid!

Personal choice on the AR-15, depends on the situation. I would want a true front rest and back rest if I were zeroing a gun. It would be good for the longer shots mountain hunting offers.

I put it on my rifle and it worked perfect. I personally don't think it's high at all. It's very comfortable for me.

You would have to put it a little forward toward the receiver,which makes it more comfortable.In shooting you would have to place your cheek bone the pad which makes the shooter more stable.This is a great product and I have several.

I have used this rest for 2 years now. I like it a lot. My previous rest was a whisker biscuit. Yes, it is a much better rest. The whisker based rests are good for beginners and for hunting. Drop away rests are better because of the minimal contact on the arrow.

Hi, Your eye should rest against the "eye piece". There is no eye relief as one rifle scope.

Ashley. I suppose I could trig this question out and let you know. My particular tree the latter is set at about 20 degrees, it depends on the ground, tree, ect... This was my first ladder stand, and I am happy as heck that I got it. Set against the same tree I sat under for over 15 years. I would reccomend you have someone help you set it up, it all depends on the other conditions, and the way I set this one up, will be different from the next one I set up. Get help with it as I did. I am pretty crippled up and needed help anyway. I can't reccoment an angle, I'm sorry. I will suggest some heavy rope and something to tie onto it, so you can rope any branches sticking out and break them off. I am not a paid review guy, but I will suggest getting some sort of wrap around blind, or burlap to tie off to the rail. Archery or rifle, if you cover it from the shooting rail down, all any deer will see is from the shoulder up. I prefer the large stands just for one person, but they will be comfy for two. Also, and extra ratchet strap sill be nice, especially if your like me and don't use a harness. If you use a harness, I would reccomend a different on than what is provided. The ones you get with it are good, but a little constricting, especially for a guy. I've seen harness' out there that you can wear as a vest. In Wisconsin, one of three people take a dive out of the stand, so it's up to you. I don't use one, but it would be smart to use one. I don't know if you are using a gun, standard bow, or crossbow. So depending on that, you can reverse the shooting rail higher or lower. I will be buying two more of these, they rock! This is my 26th year hunting. I've shot 20 deer sitting on a bucket at the bottom of my tree. Now that I'm elevated, I've seen much more. In my tree, the base of the ladder is appx. 12 feet from the tree, but it is all terrain specific. This stand for the money is amazing. I will buy at least two more for next year. Good luck!

It is managible for me with a 6 foot arm span, however I recently had a model attempt to hold it herself and she could barley manage it in the gentle breeze. So if your shooting without any wind its fine, but if you shoot outdoors like myself it is best to have an assistant.To add clarity. There's no way you can hold this yourself while shooting. Stands with sandbags... Maybe. But it catches allot of wind.

You can comfortably shoot a bow out of it, and it has replaceable shoot-through mesh. It's large, if you plan on packing it in and out a lot, but works well if you'll leave it in one spot for a few days. Not a bad blind for the money, in my opinion.

Yes it is very comfortable. Especially when you are reading. I bought it for my daughter. She likes to read and she said it helps her keep her posture. The arm rest is perfect.

Yes, if you're to shoot straight up it'll block it but you can simple remove the shade. It's an awesome product.

A lower arm guard is recommended, especially for new shooters. If your form was perfect (hold your bow arm extended, but NOT with the elbow "locked") you would not need it, but the string contacting your arm or wrist is very painful.

I don't think it will work that well. It would be okay if you are only shooting from the base of the "court," but if you want to take longer shots, then 7' might be a problem.
