Default Aim Point variations from an elevated position

Gang, I need a little guidance here.
I shoot a Diamond Victory, pushing my mini-spears at about 285 fps.
I've got my pins set at 20, 30, 40, 45, and 50, and they're all spot on.
Everything is set up for ground level shooting, and that's what I practice, as I don't have a tree I can put my stand up in to practice from where I am at.
My question is, when shooting from an elevated position, IE treestand, what's the aimpoint variance you use to compensate for the altered trajectory angles?
I've heard both "shoot high/shoot low", and frankly, I don't know which to believe.
I won't take a shot at more than 35 yards, as that's my outermost comfortable distance, so that's a factor too.
I'll be hunting all fashions this season, stand, blind, ground, climber, so your guidance is sincerely appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
Dave
