Yes and no. Sight in for 20 yards on the ground. When u get in the stand and shoot down on an animal, its going to hit a little high because of the less gravity effect. If your dead on on the ground, u have nothin to worry bout. It only hits a little bit high. If there so close where its going to hit really high, its a low percentage shot anyway. If there to close, u only hit one lung or u drive it through the back. In that case, id say wait for the deer to get out a little farther. Just sight in dead on at 20 yards and practice in your stand so u know where your going to hit.
