Oh my word how many times is this going to be asked.


There is a ton of good reading in the following pages of this forum.

Just bustin your chops...
For example if you range the game at 30 yards from a treestand then you should be shooting as if it were 22 yards on theground.
You would miss way low....the difference is less than 2 yards unless extreme heights and angles are used. Worst case scenerio, take 1 yard off your laser ranged distance and BEND AT THE WAIST.
The theroem is the Pythagorean Thereom, a2 + b2 = c2, a being the tree height, b being the ground distance and c being the laser ranged distance.
If you use proper form and bend at the waist the distance is always less than 2 yards and a mere 1 yard under normal treestand heights and distances. Bend at the waist, subtract a yard from your laser ranged deer, pick a hair and split it.
