Okay.
I have missed three does and have taken four shots.
all from treestands.
I practiced a lot from them before the season with the same setup to get used to the angles and never had any problems.
My question is.
how low or high should I aim?
all of my stands are 15 to 25 feet off the ground.
I've been told that the deer can drop as much as a foot before the arrow reaches it.

just tonight i took two shots at the same deer and missed and broke an arrow and a broadhead.

any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Get a range finder and use your correct pin for the distance form you to the deer from your stand. Aim for the center lungs and you'll have yourself a dead deer my friend. WCL

Only way a deer is gonna drop is if its nervous and knows something is worng and knows your there and she hears your shot before it hits her. If you know the deer knwos something is wrong aim for the heart and if she drops you'll hit lungs, if she don't you'll hit heart. WCL

Should be about the same as ground shot. Just make sure you are bending at the waist!
