Default RE: rangefinder

ORIGINAL: Sooner State Hunter

I range from thestand right after I've pulled my bow up or as soon as it is light enough to see, depending on whether it's morning or afternoon of course. My Nikon doesn't have the ARC so when possible I range trees at eye level. I keep it simple and find acouple of 20 and 30 yd markers, I tend to getforget what is whatif I range every tree around.
my bushnell does not have ARC system also..
so, you get in your stand and shoot the laser at EYELEVEL instead of shooting down at object.

i guess you would get a wrong reading if you pointed it down at object fro up in tree?
i wondered about this.

i am going tomake atest this spring, i am going to get on my house roof and shoot down at object and see the reading, then i am going to check it from ground.

is there a difference in yards from tree stand to ground and from ground out to object?
