Have you ever missed a shot because of a stand and fill feeder

I really want to build a stand and fill feeder my only concern is missing a shot with a deer behind the feeder.

I haven't, but the prominent feeding position is usually right under the spinner and bucks will almost always take that spot. Thats on tripod feeders, all I have used.

If I had one it would not be a problem since I put extra corn out from a road feeder or throw extra out from a bucket. That puts deer where I want them.

No. But my stand and fills have 12 volt motors that really throw the corn out and spread it good so I have plenty of shot opportunities that aren't right next to the feeder.

You could always shoot the deer BEFORE he gets to the feeder.......

I have several and it is not a problem.

Oh yeah I never thought of that.

Its going on a sendero next to the brush and blind will be on the opposite side.

All my feeders are 500-1000lbs and 5'10 tall. No issues

No issues here either. Most of feed is broadcast well beyond the feeder, but inside the fence. Bigger issue is not hitting the cattle panel fencing. Trying to sneak a bullet half inch hi or low of the cross wire has cause me a deflection or two!

Ditto, I don't shoot em around the feeder

I still have a box of Winchester Fail Safes- I just shoot through the feeder.

Never hit thr feeder while hunting deer. Did put a hole through one of feeder legs while shooting a coon.

Gotta learn how to curve the bullet. Ninja skills.

I've shot very few bucks standing directly under a feeder. and truthfully not that many does even. we hand throw corn when we sit...so there is a broader area there for the deer to feed. the majority of things that I've shot directly under a feeder have been hogs and raccoons.

like anything...just be patient on your shot. wait for them to move.

I shot a doe one time that ran into the feeder leg after I shot her! Don't know if that counts lol.
