Default RE: shooting out of stand

Again my bow could be different, I don't know. But if your bow is sighted in at twenty yards and you get in a tree and range it from up in tree and shoot at what your range finder said was 25 then you just hit high. so guys think that at in a tree they are hitting high but actually they are not. The target in reality was only 20 yards from the base of tree and the range finder said it was 25 so they used a 25 yard pin or held over a little and then they hit high at what was at twenty yards. That is why guys hit high in a tree they think the target is farther then it is so they use a pin that is for farther ranges and then hit high. This is why guys arespending 300 to 500bucks on range finders with a TBR set up in it. I have never had a problem being up in a treeand the top range finders are compensating fro being up and giving true range from targets and taking out the angles which makes a old range finders read longer since it does not compensate for elevation and being up in a tree. I could be wrong, but then so is Leupold and Bushnell.
