50 yds is a streach for me under perfect conditions. The stand I am hunting from now has some 80 yd shots available but not for me with the SBH. All my shots will be offhand at 25 yds or less. The knee pod is not going to work for me out of this stand and it does not have a shooting rail. I hope I have time to get a good solid position but it is not likely. Patience is the order of the day. My next hunt will be next Wed. I should have some game cam pics and hopefully some trophy shots that evening.
