I do about a week before season comes in just to get a fill for it, it's a lot different when you are 20 feet up standing on a small platfrom shooting down

I always practiced from a 20" ladder stand. I bought a deer
target,it really helped with shot placement. Hunt safe

Not from a stand but my dad's deck is about 12' off the ground and then the yard slopes down hill so that by the time you're 12yds away, you're about 18'-20' above the target.

I've got a 16' ladder stand I built behind my shop and several targets. Folks come from all round to practice from it. Makes a difference.

You don't learn to bend at the waist if you always shoot from the ground.

My porch is about 15' off the ground and ill practice from that. I do have an old lock on that I'll hook to a tree a foot or so from the ground to practice shooting from the small platform and shoot sitting down

Only arrows I've ever shot from a stand were at deer. same, hasn't ever made much difference with me. I know people who put their thick gloves and facemask and all on and shoot in September. Ill pass on that.

I never have. I have always felt if you know your bow you can make the adjustment. Shooting instinctual has its advantages in that way. If you're aiming and adjusting for the height, bend at the waist, pick a spot lower (where tan turns white), and drop a little below that.
I hope we have once again reminded people that man is not free unless government is limited. There�s a clear cause and effect here that is as neat and predictable as a law of physics: as government expands, liberty contracts. � Ronald Reagan

I just do it for peace of mind. More of a confidence booster I guess. Plus it makes me get that much more ready. I always shoot the same from a stand as I do from the ground. Never had to make any adjustments. Do you use sights?

Yea. I don't shoot traditional. Ok. So I guess with sights dialed in, using those sights already compensates for the height in the stand.

Not sure what exactly you are asking or implying...but as long as you keep exact form and like others have said bend at the waist your sights shouldn't be off at all. I hit the same poi from 20 foot up as I do on the ground as long as my form is correct. Sights don't have any different calculation for in a tree vs the ground. 40 yards is 40 yards. When you get into extreme angles things may get a little different and may be off a yard or two, but a compound is fast enough that it shouldn't change your poi enough to cause a miss...we are talking inches here not feet. Plus this is where arch range finders can come in handy. I have played with them before but like I said the yardages between a arch and regular rf were never really off enough to make me say man i got to have that instead of a regular rf.

That's what I was asking. I have only shot a compound a time or 2 in my life. The sights sit up higher than the rest on a compound. If you are shooting a bow with no sights and you are aiming, you are aiming low to compensate. I don't aim, but guys who do tell me they pick a spot low on the deer and aim their tip an inch under that.

After a morning hunt, I usually fling a field point at a dead leaf if I haven't shot in a couple of days also. I've always shot out of a tree stand before season.

I haven't in a while but I plan to this year. A lot of my shots this bow season could be almost straight down. I need to practice it.

I hang a loc on in the yard simply to get used to drawing the bow on the little platform, off balance.
