Your best bet is to practice from tree stand height at a couple distances to get an idea of how much you need to compensate.
x2. i have a practice platform in a tree behind my house where i shoot from elevated. dont go out in the field before you practice from a stand. it helped me a lot. i also see lots of people just climb on there rough or shed and shoot from there.
