Whatever the situation calls for. I've shot animals with my bow straight up and canted.

Depends on which bow........... but canted most of the time.

With traditional equipment, always canted. When I do break out my compound with sights then I shoot straight. Completely different anchor so I don't have a problem making the switch.

Canted at about 1 oclock.

Canted

canted- with my longbow off the shelf. But when I shot off a raised rest on my recurve - I shot with it vertical.

both-Ive never really payed much attentioned to it but I know at longer distances the bow is nearly vertical, and out of a tree,-when the animal is close, my bow is horizontal.

Canted for hunting, but I do practice laying it right down and vert to invert.

Canted at about 2:00 O'clock for most hunting. Vertical for long 3D shots.

Canted just feels better.

A vertical fire arm doesnt hit your face nor obstruct your view if you try to look down the barrel.

Canted. Be careful as you get older and find yourself canting your head over you may doze off for a second or so but helps with the release.
I like to have the limb out of the way.

canted or what ever the shot calls for

wh are you so against shooting a bow stright up and down if people feel comfortable and shoot good like that whatever i shoot mine straight up and down you dont have to cant your bow and the target for me is never blocked i can still see it

My dad always taught me that there was no such word as cant. :D

James Wrenn · « **Reply #39 on:** January 06, 2009, 12:05:00 PM »

I can and do shoot either way depending on the situation.Normally the longer the shot the more vertical I want my bow.
