Quite often the problem of not being able to acquire a rollover under the restrictive conditions of a stand is directly related to draw-weight.

There is a huge difference between standing in form and drawing while practicing, and drawing from unorthodox positions while your muscle weakening adrenaline is pumping.

As some here have said, you have to practice drawing under the conditions you will face while in your stand. Although the adrenaline factor will not be a factor, practicing shooting from unorthodox positions will help. Most of all, you must determine if you will be able to smoothly and with little movement, draw your bow with the draw-weight you dialed in.

Like it or not, if you cannot draw your present draw-weight under actual hunting conditions, you have only two choices. Reduce your draw-weight and shoot at the deer, or leave the draw-weight as is and struggle to point at the sky while the deer run away.

Sometimes, only 2 or 3 pounds less draw-weight can make you or break you.
