So far my takeaway from all this is ...

1) Measure yardage from the ground with a rangefinder and make a mental note of the 10, 20, and 30 yard lines. Use for setting pin distance no matter how high I am up a tree and regardless of what rangefinder says from the tree

2) I'm going to Redstone Arsenal Archery range today to see if they really do have elevated shooting stands to practice from

Alright y'all...looks like i messed up on the chart. Although the chart is correct, all those numbers are in FEET, not yards. Big difference, obviously..

So when you do the math using YARDS instead of FT, here's what i get:

For 35 yds, it equals 34.2 yds (yeah, i know big deal)
For 15 yds, it equals 13.2 yds
For 10 yds, it equals 7.1 yds.

This is all assuming your stan is 20 ft (approx 7 yds up)

Sorry y'all! I thought those numbers looked a little off

In other words, if you are always about 20 ft up, you will never have more than about a 3 or 4 yd correction...the farther away your target, the less the compensation

Exactly. My rangefinder has never corrected more than 4 yards and that was within 20 yards.

After missed a nice buck last season due to hitting my bottom cam on the arm rest of my climber, I certainly will be mindful of anything that might contact the limbs and cams before taking the shot.
