I do the same thing as most people by leaning out over the bar most often. But now and again, if the deer is a bit to far to my weak side,sometimes I opt to take a position as if im climbing with the stand, facing backwards sitting on the rail and towards the tree. It opens up that side quite nice, if you practice it. In any case, being prepared by standing before deer approach is key.I think a degree of canting is almost necessity for me out of the viper, but thats how I shoot anyway.
