As Joe stated, you do shoot better using a TreeSaddle or Guido's. You do not cant the bow as much in a TreeSaddle as you do standing. There really is nothing to get in the way of your bow if you are set up correctly using a Saddle or Guido's. The Guido's has a nice supported seat and fork to keep you away from the tree, but the TreeSaddle is more comfortable for me because I can remain standing and move a little. I have noticed deer that look up in trees around here and recognize treestands now since we demand bigger and wider treestands. If you can get your hands on a TreeSaddle or Guido's Web to try, you will like how it feels shooting traditional out of one. The biggest benefit I see is the way it forces your drawing arm to be inline with the arrow.
