I gotta aim 5-6" lower when I'm in the stand, 20'up at a15-20yd. target.
learned this the hard waylast season when I missed a nice buck. The acute anglemakes shootingdifferent than flat ground for sure.Come this Sept. I'll be practicing from stand. 15 yd. max. I just shot high.

Only if your dropping your bow arm and not bending at the waist. If you bend at the waist you should be aiming dead on, not low for compensation...after years of shooting competitive 3d, it doesn't matter if you are shooting out of an elevated stand or extremely uphill, if you bend at the waist, you pick a spot, aim for it and nail it.....I certainly wouldn't aim high or low depending.

Good idea to practice.
Thanks for the tip, I'll pay attention to my arm drop ? &try it dead on again.
