Today, I shot at a walking range with very steep slopes. Most of the ground was dirt with pea gravel. Slopes were 15-25 degrees. Fortunately, my hunting area does not have pea gravel on the ground.
I had a lot of trouble keeping my downhill foot in place when I drew my bow back. I don\'t struggle to draw my bow. Gravity appeared to be against me and the pea gravel was like ball bearings.
I have one hunting spot which may require shooting on a 25 degree slope, therefore, I need to figure this out.
When I was kneeling using my knee caps, it wasn\'t nearly as bad. Lowering my center of gravity helped.
Does anyone know where I should keep my weight or how to dig in so the downhill foot doesn\'t slip? Do I give up on a standing position and use a different position?
