Hello All,
I am new to the board and newer to hunting. This is my first year and I have been practicing like crazy at all yardages. I got some new sites and I am keyed into 15, 20, and 30 yards.

I have seen the tree stand that I am going to be hunting on and it is about 20 feet in the air. I have talked to a lot of people and some claim that shooting out of a tree is going to change your sites vs. shooting level to the ground like I do in my back yard.

With the engineer coming out in me, I would have to challenge that things should be the same. I would have to think that the only thing changing would be the distance that you are shooting. If the game is 15 yards from the tree I am in, and I am 20 feet in the air, then the game is actually 16.5 yards away. If you happen to be 30 feet in the air (hope you have the harness on) the game is 18 yards away.

Just my thoughts, let me know if there are people out there that have seen quite a difference between elevated and level shooting.

Good Luck All!!! I still have 2 weeks until I can get out. Wish I would have saved some vacation for the end of the year.

Thanks.

Aaron
