RE: How do you practice??
If you can hit them from the ground you can hit them from a tree.<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle> Well, ALMOST. Anyway. I put a stand up in the back yard to practice out of. For a change of scenery I put a ladder up and climb up on the roof too. I have a lot of old centers from hips targets and just throw them out and shoot at them. One arrow at each one. When I retrieve my arrows I give the targets a kick to a new location and climb back up. I also practice some straight down shots. I have a 3D deer but I don't shoot to much at it because it's a pain to move it around. I do it,.... but not as much as the throw targets. I've done it for years so usually only devote a couple trips up the ladder or into the stand with a quiver full of arrows each practice session near deer season. It's OK, but I hunt from a lot higher than my practice stands are... so it's not perfect. It is good in that form changes when shooting from above will become very obvious. I shoot more still from the ground, but that's just to keep muscles in tune.
