Who practices from their stand?

Yep. Not most of my practice but some each season.

I do all off season shooting pigs.

Yes I do. I also practice wearing the exact same hunting clothes I will be wearing while hunting. Granted I don't stay in them very long but it's a good idea to practice exactly the way you will be hunting. At least a few shots anyway. What you can learn is valuable info.
For example, One time I learned I cannot use a netting type face make. When I close my left eye to look through my peep sight the face mask had it all covered up. It could be my big honkin nose.

I do at the lease. I don't have anything around here that is 20+ feet up like the pine trees on my leases.

Yep, just went up to my place to fill the feeder and put some finishing touches on a ladder stand up there. The final check was to climb up, hoist up the bow, make sure everything was in place, and then fling a few arrows down at a bag target setup in my shooting lane. I have a couple of shooting lanes, so I had to get down and move the target and go up a couple of times in order to feel confident in the setup. Less than 2 months to go, and I'm ready!

Same here, I take a block target whenever I set up a new stand, and take a few shots to make sure my back elbow draw clearance, shooting window clearance, and lane openings are all ok.

Did not do that a few years ago, and clanked the lower bow limb against the shooting rail when I drew, spooked a buck and doe out of the feeder pen. Live and learn...
