Why do people fear shooting out of a tree. It's no different from shooting from the ground. Distance, form, picking a spot and execution.

Distance: The distance from tree to quarry not distance from shooter to quarry. Worst case scenerio, range from treestand, subtract a yard or yard and a half. Forget the gimick of compensating range finders.

Form: Draw straight out as if shooting on level ground, bend at the waist and maintain your shooting form throughout.

Picking a Spot: Aim for the exit hole. Imagine the arrow passing through the animal. Pick a hair on your side of your quarry that will enable the passing arrow to do the most damage.

Execution: No different than on the ground, concentrate on that hair, squeeze don't jerk the trigger and keep your head in the shot. Don't watch for the impact, if your shooting with both eyes open (or maintain your style) and execute your shot, the arrow will be where it's suppose to be.


From a treestand or the ground, keep your form.
