Course Outline

If you plan to hunt from an elevated stand, your practice should include shooting from this position. Depending on the size of your practice area, you may be able to use a tree within that area. Practicing also helps condition the muscles you use when climbing.

  • Practice in the clothing you will wear in the various weather conditions you plan to hunt in.
  • Practice first with your tree stand and FAS at ground level, using all safety devices that were included with the stand. Then continue to practice, gradually going higher. Practice shooting from your stand while wearing your FAS.
