RE: Seated or Standing?
I can't use climbers, just lock-on stands, but I always shoot sitting. I stood the first couple of times, but didn't like the noise I made. I tried drawing and aiming my bow sitting and it seemed workable, so I tried a shot and it worked. I've killed my last 20 or so that way. Sometimes I hang my right leg off the side of the stand to make it easier.

Altough I don't use a climber , I can take a shot seated and standing it doesn't really matter to me.
If I see the deer coming in and I have time enough to stand then I'll get ready for a standing shot but if the deer are within twenty yards or closer then I'll remain seated and get ready to draw.
Practice is the key to making good shots seated or standing just remember to bend from your waste to get the right angel.

I always shoot standing. I don't think I would be able to do it seated because of the front bar, although I have never tried. I just feel alot more comfortable taking a standing shot, although I do practice a good bit from a seated position while at the pro-shop. One this for sure, when seated,the draw weight feels a lot heavier!

I always try to shoot with seated if possible. I can limit my movement and remain somewhat secluded. I use ladder stands alot so it is easier. to shoot while seated.

I stand.
I'm forced to stand in my climber because it has a rail. In a lock-on, I would take a seated shot if I had to.But, I stand up as soon as I see a deerif I won't be detected. I'm like at least one other person in this thread, I stand up during the first and last 45 minutes of daylight for sure.
