I’m new to tree stand / saddle hunting. Used to Western ground / spot and stalk.
My bow is set up perfectly for ground shots.
This last season, in a tree, my shot on a deer was WAY higher than my aim point.
I have subsequently learned that this is normal when shooting down and when shooting uphill the opposite will occur, shots will be low.
Obvious solution is to compensate your aim point to compensate for either uphill or down hill shot.
My question is when in a tree, does anyone set their draw length to be shorter than when setting for flat ground shots? Does that provide any benefit knowing your not aiming the same way as a ground shot.?
