Shoot like you were standing on the ground. Just bend at the waist, don't drop your bow arm.
Best advice I could give you. If you shoot like this the arrow will fly the same as on the ground. I have done this for 21 years now, but I would suggest to practice a first.

I asked this very question a while back and some of the guys posting now are probably the ones who answerd it.

It's not about how far the arrow has to travel to get to the target. It's about how far the target is away from the base of the tree. For example, the deer could be downhill and 30 actual yards of arrow flight away but you can't use your 30yard pin. Instead, do this: draw an imaginary horizontalline from the base of your tree perpendicular to the tree and outward towards and of course abovethe deer. Then draw an imaginary line from the deer straight up until it intersects the first imaginary line. This will indicate the yardage you have to aim for. The reason for this is gravity actually only has that many yards to act on your arrow.

If the deer is uphill just revert simply this formula.

If the deer is on level ground, just aim for the distance that the deer is away from the base of the tree.
