I usually hunt in the 15'-20' range.I use a Summit Viper XLS as my primary stand,and configure the seat to hang appox 6" below the safety bar.
I have found that with the seat so positioned,and the bar brought up to waist high,i can safely lean out against the bar,and attain plenty of clearence for my curve.I was going to cut off the bar,but glad that i didn't,after reading about this trick with the Summit's.
Best of luck to all,Hunt Safe.

I've hunted 20+ feet with my 60" longbow.  Never had a problem.

Hunt out of a bunch of hang on stands 66 stands set up and ready to hunt to be exact. They are anywhere from 3ft. to 27ft. Never had a problem with a recurve out of any of them. I do agree the lower the better and cover dictates how high my stands are, angle becomes tough on close in shots from high stands. Shawn

I hunt at 12ft and  15ft respectfully, out of both. I took one section out of one making it 12ft. I also have some 10ft tripods set up.
I don't notice any significant angle difference at those heights. Practice at both, just for certainty.
Pretty much right on when shooting from those heights, IMO.

I usually hunt from a ladder or lock on stand set up at 15 feet. I shoot a 68" longbow so tend to sit  mostly with my right butt cheek on the seat and my left one hanging off a bit. This helps keep the lower end of the bow from hitting the stand. Since I am a bit shaky at any height, I shoot sitting down.

I kinda fit in with the majority of guys with heights between 12 and 20 feet and use a variety of stands. Mostly lone wolf hang sons. If I get higher than about 18 feet I start to feel too far away and don't lime the angle. Much prefer 12-15 if cover allows.
