RE: recurve out of a treestand
If you bend at the waist, there should be no adjustment necessary. I shoot right at them. The biggest factor is picking a spot. There is a temptation to shoot at the deer,(How can I possibly miss?), at close range. Make sure you pick your aiming spot. With sights, you are not aiming the arrow, you are aiming the sights where you expect the arrow to go. Since the arrow is a few inches below the sights, you have to adjust at close range. When you are aiming the arrow, it's going to go where you aim it.
