After reading the posts on the thread "What is your closest miss?", I'm trying to understand something.

I am about 15 ft up in a tree on top of a very steep, high bank overlooking a small stream. Deer came to other side of the creek at a very steep downward angle putting him about 30 yds away from me (on the slant) but only about 10 yards out fromthe vertical plane of the tree. Trying to remember all the geometry involved...
What is the correct pin placement in this case? To me, logic would tend to dictate that I would just use my top pin (10-20 yards) and put it on target. The shot is 10 level yards, and gravity is a constant. Am I wrong? (A genuine question. Please educate me if I am.)

8 yards for me.... right over the Doe's Back.... Forgot to hold low[:@]/quote]
Again I'm lost. At less than 10 yards, I have to hold the top pin high.At 5 yards, my 30 yard pin is closer to correct. Gravity is still a constant. Can someone help me understand this?
