hitting high

[jeck]

Ment to add this to my last post but got carried away...anyway,from my tree stand(20 feet) I am grouping great at hunting distances BUT arrows are 8" high all the time!  I know this is a form issue but don't know what to address.....please help.

Make sure you bend at the waist rather than just lowering your bow arm.You want to keep your torso perpendicular to your target,just like when on the ground.I don't know if that will completely solve your problem.There is a tendency to shoot high out of elevated stands and 20' is pretty high.You may just have to consciously hold a little lower when in that stand.

Shooting at extreme angles requires you to aim lower.

because the force of gravity is constant you must aim lower than you normaly would at 20yards- although the line of site distsnce between you and the target. the target may only be 15 yards from the base of your tree. the effect of gravity on your arrow would be the same as a 15 yard shot on level ground. it works the same way if you are on the ground shooting at a squirrel in a tree. Also as JimB said bend at the waist to keep your form right.
