RE: Elevated VS. on ground
if you bend at the waist and shoot with the same anchor points you should hit the same as you would from the ground.
for most typical bowhunting, i think most guys shoot the range of the target from the base of the tree to the target. within 30yds or so you might be off a yard or 2...i cant remember the real numbers but its nothing to worry about...
definently PRACTICE it though. its a little different and can feel akward. i had to get used to shooting with my feet so close and bending at the waist etc. shooting with my buddies at a 3d shoot today, the last target was a treestand shot. you could tell who didnt bend at their waist...
