Default aim low or high

I'm shooting an old Pse 15-20 yrs. I don't know the fps. I am accurate to 30 yds. and won't take a shote at more than that. I have heard of deer "jumping the string" so should I am low or high at this yardage.
Thanks for your input I have learned alot from you guys.

Most of the time a deer will duck when you shot so aim low.

Well its not that they are ducking its that they are going down to prepare to jump. Actually I would aim at the vitals. I have had them go down to gather themself to jump and miss but more often than not they don't, especially if they're not alert to you or know that you are there.

Don't be assuming what the deer Is going to do, you'll be In trouble then. Put that pin on the vitals where It should be and let that string go.

Get a newer bow/ pendulum sight and dont shoot at a alarmed deer. You will not have to alter your shot.

The only time I would aim low is on a deer that is at full alert(nervous or aware I am there)and very close.
