I have found that with the blazing velocities these days, from about 20 +/- feet up, until the deer is beyond 30 yards or so, I compensate very little for arrow arc.

As far as figuring out all of the details, the physics behind the issue is a fundamental, simple geometrical calulation that is often referred to as the "3-4-5" rule (Pythagorian Theorem). I know of no one that does this calculation in the field and many more that could not do this calculation in my HS geometry class.

I would suggest that you practice from your stand or some other 15' elevated set up. The real issue has already been pointed out ... the angle that the arow will pass through the deer.
