Gotcha Jeff about the 1/3 comment. Brain ran out of steam sometime yesterday afternoon.
Tight shots are a paradox. IF you know and can put your shot exactly where it needs to go, they are just as deadly as anything. BUT shooting down at sharp angles is tough for many people and it throws off your perceived view of the vitals. It’s certainly not an easy shot to make for many.

I could not imagine going into the woods without having shot out of a tree stand first.

You also need to practice hanging/attaching your quiver in a place where if a second shot opportunity arises, you will be able to quietly and with the least amount of movement, retrieve another arrow.

thanks for all the replys guys, i havnt been able to post because i have been working to much, this weekend, i am going to try these tips you guys gave me, i have shot out of my tree once, at i guess around 15 feet at 17 yards and it was just a hair high but still great shot,


P.S IS IT NORMAL TO BE ALITTLE NERVIOUS WHEN YOU GO UP IN A TREE STAND THE FIRST TIME AND SETUP????? cause i was, but after i setup and sat down i was fine, just alittle wiery about moving around.

Oh and dont forget getting used to shooting with your safety harness. They tend to get in the way sometimes![:@]
Yep, i have my harness loose enough to shoot comfortably but tight enough to do the job

If you have a consistent anchor point yourPOIwill not change. I use a nose button to keep my sight plain consistent.

Yes it's normal, but I don't recommend hunting out of the stand at that height unless you are comfortable.
