RE: Shooting a Bow From Stand Question
 

Short answer: No, you don't aim any different. If anything, you will pick up 2 or 3 yards of range hunting 15 ft off the ground just due to the force of gravity helping you out. My first pin is set for 25 yards but I will shoot to 28 from a stand and hit what I aim for.

Me too, same as from the ground.

I went with the Keller pendulum sight,I aim the same at all yds,made my life easier.

i dont aim much different either, although my stand is only 15 ft high. . if u have a higher stand it may matter more. . . . how high is ur stand?

Form is the most impotant part of shooting. And as Adams said...if shooting from a treestand, always BEND AT THE WAIST. This will keep all your anchor points the same as if you were on the ground. If you drop your bow arm, you will change the arrow trajectory even though the sight picture may look good to you at the time.

Its fine to ask the question hear.......but your nuts if you don't go out and prove it to yourself! Go out and shoot from the same elevation you'll be hunting. Then, when you're in the tree and you get your chance, YOU"LL HAVE 100% CONFIDENCE in your shot!

Good Luck!

Hey CulpeperCowboy. Welcome to the forum. I think you'll find that most people here know exactly what they're talking about and I agree that you need to practice shooting from your tree stand and you'll know exactly where to aim when that deer comes by. I think it's different for each individual because I was one of those guys that had to aim low when I was shooting from my stand. I aimed as much as 6 inches low depending on the angle of the shot and the distance and it was probably due to my form but hey, I shoot the way I shoot and that's just me and I was in tune with my bow. Last year I got a new bow and set it up with a No Peep and it helped me correct my form and now I aim where I want the arrow to hit. I took 2 bucks with that bow last season and both were from 18 feet up and at steep angles.

i would aim low since the deer will prbably duck
