If you are using a natural ground blind with your back to a tree, shift your position so your supporting arms' shoulder is resting against the tree so you can draw without having to shift your position when the time comes.

If possible get out of your chair and on to your knees to shoot. you will be much more stable. Also reduce the draw weight ~ 7%. I went from 70lbs to 60lbs for late season hunting. You can get "cold soaked" after several hours in the cold and the bow will be very hard to draw especially on a chair. Most of my shots are under 30 yds. and 10 lbs. makes very little difference.
Don't spend your last day on earth saying "I wish I would have"

I hunt out of blinds alot. Shooting from a seat is not tough for me. It's typically 1 shot under 30 yrds.. easy peasy.... keep ur body alignment the same as if your standing, but practice with feet out front etc.
