RE: aiming from your tree stand
And he always makes me fetch his judo points when I come to drag him out of the tree. Not too long ago he said get my arrows. Dead center in this non discript little stump at 50 yards... 2 judos. I think he just likes to make me walk. I should have accused him of sticking them in there from 10 yards before he climbed the tree.<img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>
I to aim at what I want to hit. Just practice, anchor correctly and shoot. I like to think of the animal as 2 dimensional... top back line and belly. Aim at the center of mass and you'll be fine. The closer the animal is to straight down the closer you get to the spine. So an animal straight down if you aim center of mass you're on the spine. At least that's where I want to hit. On some high strung animal that I know is going to drop I aim lower knowing the animal will fall into the arrow. The closer you get to straight down the less a duck by the animal matters.
