Aim for the exit hole and always bend at the waist;

It helps to practice tree stand type shots that you would expect to be taking with your all your hunting gear .

Now, while up in that tree how do you know you are judging the hypotenuse of a right triangle? What if the tree isn't perpendicular to the ground? LOL.
I apparently have WAY too much time to think when I'm up there not seeing any deer.
Not perpendicular? Oh crap, let me recalculate and I'll write another 3 pages. [:@]

Right there is the most valuable advice that could ever be given.
Try it for yourself, and see. Use a rangefinder to check horizontal and angled distance so you start with seeing how big or little the difference is, and then take shots to see what the difference in drop is. The slower your arrows are, the more it will matter. Mine are only doing 220, so it can be a couple inches.

the only time i think you need to aim differently is on really close shots you want to hit high in the ribs but not too high since the backstraps and thicker part of the ribs can mess up your penitration, you want to get both lungs but if you shoot too low when they are close then your likely to get only one or skim down the side of the deer. other then that i just make sure my form is good which also helps take the focus of the horns coming at you and put it where i want to hit.
