The difference between the true horizontal yardage and the direct line of sight yardage is .53667 yards! i.e. if you were on flat ground it would be a 20.53667 yard shot, vs. up in the tree it is a 20 yard shot.
I agree, my calculations second this opinion. A fifteen yard shot would be almost the same - dead on if sighted in at 100 yards.
