All of you are right.
Yes. The distance is greater.
Yes. You shoot for the horizontal distance.
Good Morning
One thing I would like to see......and that's the math that got a 15yd horizontal shot to be over 17yds. from the treestand

RE: "True Shooting Distance"
From a treestand, the distance from your bow to the target is essentially the hypotenuse of a right triangle. the formula to figure the length of a hypotenuse is: The sq. root of the sum of the squares of the other two sides. In other words, the square root of: (the height of the bow, squared+ the distance to the deer, squared). If you do the math, you'll find the actual distance isn't that significantly different than the horizontal distance at typical treestand heights and shooting distances.
