Default RE: Judging Shot Distance

bend at the waist and get your same true solid anchor and then judge the distance. from normal hunting height upto 25foot or so youll only be a yard or so off i believe. run the Pythagorean(SP) Therom(sp again lol) A^2+B^2=C^2 its been a while since i had a math class...dont ask me what A B and C are lol...but its been worked out before...you wont be off far enough to make a diffrence..exspecially with today bows. but yes the way to measure is indeed from the base of your tree...how to figure that out 25 foot high is beyond me unless you range areas from the ground before you climb. sure fire way.....get em between 5-15yds or 20yds depending on how flat you bow shoots and put you top pin on him and smoke him!
