Does It Really Matter
I am Shooting at ground level and im grouping at 25yrds 2 in groups i figure thats decent but i heard elevation plays a big role on shots i know that phisicsd and gravity has a less effect on the arrow but i only climb about 25 to 30 feet. my bow site has eleation settings but should i even mess with it?

Yeah you should shoot if you hunt at 25-30 feet. You should always make sure it hits where the right spot from a tree-- but I usually am only 15 feets off the ground and have never had a problem. Make sure you bend at the waist instead of just dropping your bow arm.

Set up your treestand at the height you intend to shoot from. Take numerous shots with broadheads to simulate your actual hunting conditions. This will give you an idea of what should happen when hunting.

As said above practice how you hunt. If you hunt from a stand practice from a stand if you hunt in a pop up blind practice in a pop up blind etc. And as the season gets closer practice in your hunting clothes.

You hunt from ONLY 25 to 30 feet? That's 10 to 15 feet higher than the average. What do you do to get your nost to stop bleeding? How can you get a consistent anchor with that oxygen mask in the way?
