joebobhunter4 Posted September 6, 2005 Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 is it true when you shoot a bow n arrow out of a treestand the arrow will place differently where you are aiming than on the ground? like should you aim a little lower and it will hit higher than you aim... or shoot higher and it will hit lower than you aim?

dogdoc Posted September 6, 2005 Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 Re: where to shoot at a deer in the tree stand? just bend at the waist to keep your form true and aim right on. Your point of impact maybe a little higher but not enough where you need to compensate--at least not enough for me but I only hunt 15 feet up.

Guest Bob_D Posted September 6, 2005 Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 Re: where to shoot at a deer in the tree stand? This morning I shot a deer in my tree stand.....How he got in my tree stand I'll never know. Depends on the speed of the bow and the distance. The only way to know for sure is to practice shooting from a tree stand. I hit the same aim point when I'm in a tree stand as when I'm not. When I aim I visualize the where the arrow will exit and aim accordingly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HarvDog Posted September 6, 2005 Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 Re: where to shoot at a deer in the tree stand? Shoot the same...just practice from elevated positions to be sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhino Posted September 6, 2005 Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 Re: where to shoot at a deer in the tree stand? I always aim a little low for the heart area myself. Not because of high arrow hits from an elevated position but because deer aren't targets and almost always will drop down as soon as they hear an arrow turned loose to load up the muscles in the hind legs to leave. It's just a playing the odds sort of thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckee Posted September 7, 2005 Report Share Posted September 7, 2005 Re: where to shoot at a deer in the tree stand? Distance from the bottom of the tree your in is a factor here. I just bend slightly at the waste and visualize where the arrow will exit the deer, in-order to pick the sweet-spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

too_pointer Posted September 7, 2005 Report Share Posted September 7, 2005 Re: where to shoot at a deer in the tree stand? I have always been told you usually shoot high when shooting downword or upword, so I aim just a tad low, around the heart, to compinsate. too_ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest tyshe17 Posted September 7, 2005 Report Share Posted September 7, 2005 Re: where to shoot at a deer in the tree stand? my pins are set for various yardage from a treestand...on the ground they are set like weird ranges such as 18.5yds and 34 yds. From a tree stand they hit at set even ranges. However, if your sights are set for level ground, remember a downward or upward shot will shoot closer than a horizontal shot bc of the rules of gravity...remeber physics?
