Hey Guys,
I want to get the final word on some things. I have heard that if you sight your bow in on the ground then it will still be on if you are shooting out of a tree stand (approx 20 ft). This is assuming that you measure the distance from the base of the tree you are in to the object you are shooting. Sois 20 yards from the base of the tree the same as 20 yards ifI was on the ground? Do I have to compensate in anyway (aim high or low) if I've sighted my bow in on the ground and then hunt out of a treestand?

Another question I have is similar. I like to put my tree stand on ridge tops so I can see the valley on both sides. Sometimes these valleys are pretty steep and a deer might be on a bench below me. Even though the deer is 50 or so actual yards away if I look at a tree that right beside him its top (which will be eyelevel to me) is only 20 yards away. So would I shoot at the deer as if it were50 yards away (since he is far below me) or 20 yards away. Basically, if a deer is over the hill it looks really far away but if it were raised to your level then it wouldn't be as far.

I hope these make sense. Can somebody help me out
