RE: shot straight down from the stand
 

I like the one, "don't shoot at a deer thats closer to you than your stand is high" this makes alot of sense. It makes sure your have decent angles. I think this would be good advice for a begginner.

Good Luck!

I would wait for more of an angle, straight down is not a very high percentage shot with the kill zone so small
