Default RE: shooting out of a tree stand

Alot of it depends on how you have your bow sighted. I have mine sighted so I aim lower. My stands are normally between 15-20 feet, I practice out of my ladder stand. When I shoot, I draw my bow at a slight downward angle so that when I am at full draw, im looking through the sights at the deers foot. I theb begin to follow the back of the front leg upwards untill I get to the rear of the"armpit" area of the leg and let it fly. Remember the higher up you go and the closer you are the more you have to compinsate for the angle. Its always best to aim a little lower. Practice from your hunting height and different angles and yardage, this will only improve your shooting performance and give you the confidence you need when that B&C buck comes within 20 yards. Good luck thisyear and remember to practice.
