The few tree stands that I do frequest offer only about 50-100 yards of shooting and I don't need a rest for those. If your stand has a safety/shooting rail you can lean on it. If not, you can rest the tip of a monopod on your toe. The issue I find with a monopod is holding it and your gun at the same. How long of shots do you anticipate?

And welcome to HH!


Rod, too.

Short cuts often lead to long recoveries.
