I agree that there is a tendency to hit high. And for me the higher I am up, the more often For me, it is the really close shots ... 5-10 yards or so from the base of the tree that are a challenge. It is easy for me to hit 3-4-5 inches high ... I have even hit across the back, on the oppposite side of the body. Not sure why, but I think it is foprm related. Bending adequately at the waist in order to hold form can be tricky. The tendency I have on very close shots is to not bend far enough, and I end up "reaching" out from the waist up, which is not good form for sure! On shots say from 15 yards out, I do OK, with most shots very well placed. I do struggle with 40-45 yard shots simply because of the lesser margin for error associated with longer shots. Always have. These days I usually pass on shots past 40.
