RE: sighting it in?
What I do is sight in on the ground and have my pins calibrated for exact distances. Then you aim for the TRUE horizonal distance when shooting from height. There are 2 ways of doing this and you need to do both: Use rangefinder or mark actual distances before you get in your stand,that way you'll be aiming for true distance instead of angled distance. The other is once you know the distance,practice from your stand to ensure your pin settings. As everybody knows,you aim for horizonal distance-NOT angled distance. The reason you bend from waist instead of simply dropping bow arm is when you drop your arm,it radically changes your anchor point. That in itself will cause you to shoot higher as well as aiming for angled range. Bending from waist is not natural,it's a trained part of shooting form,whereas you WILL drop your bow arm without realizing unless you practice from stand (height) as well as from ground while concentrating on proper form. Proper form is everything in bowshooting. Even after you shoot enough to develop muscle memory,it's imperitive to keep in practice so as not to lose this muscle memory. Hope this helps at least a little. Neil
