    He means bend from your waist and shoot. We tend to lean the bow, arm and head out to shoot from a tree...making us hit high.

    A good way to practice from a tree is to draw straight out, find your anchor and then keep everything touching while you slowly bend your waist and acquire your target. Practicing this time and time again will make it second nature when bending to shoot an animal walking by at closer ranges.

    I may not explian it great, but some others can.
