Sight in from the ground or tree?

I sight my bow in from the ground. Some people sight in from a tree stand. What is the best compromise here? I bend at the waist when shooting from a stand and it seems to work well but sometimes I don' t always hit where I would from the ground. What do you guys do and how can I assure my accuracy from the ground as well as the stand?

Sight in from ground, then practice practice practice from the tree. When in a tree, use the distance from the base of the tree to the target when choosing your pin or shot distance. Then make sure you bend from the waist, and don' t drop your bow arm at the shot, follow through is even more important from a tree...

hey

i sight my bow in from the ground cause i target shoot ova the summer on 3-D' s, but when it comes time to hunt. I spend 3 days a week in a 15 ft. ladder stand to make sure that my bow shoots the same in a tree and on the ground. But somtimes i have found that i shoot high when shooting from a treestand. So i sight in my bow for treestand hunting cause i hunt of of one 99.9% of the time.

but thats just me ......

REMEMBER....PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT.
