Default Treestand distance vs. the ground

Before I start I'll make 10, 20, and 30 yard rings from the base of the tree my stand is in, and usually hunt 20-30ft. up.
I've taken 7 deer with my bow through the seasons but they have all been right under the tree so my 10 yard pin makes a perfect shot everytime. But if I had to shoot out to 20 or 30 yards would my yardage markers from the ground still be valid? I don't have no trees big enough in my yard to shimmy up and try and I dont want to stink up my hunting spots to try there. I have climbed on top of my roof and the yardage stayed the same but that's half the distance of me being up a tree.
Just thought it'd be better late then never to ask.
Also sorry if this has been discussed before wasn't quite sure what keywords would work to type in a search.
Thanks for any input.
