    alright, new to bow hunting been deer hunting for years though.. I sighted my bow in standing on the ground today and I have the first pin set for 20 yards when I get 20ft up in a stand will my arrows still be hitting in the same place from 20 yards away?

    Depends on your angle. Usually people shoot high due to bad form from the stand. The distance is only measured by the x axis. Saying that the arrow drops the same whether shot from a stand or the ground. What matters is form.

    Agree with AUbowhunter...you shouldn't notice any difference at 20 yards if you shoot with proper form. I like to practice from a stand in the summer to be sure. Good luck!

    Yes you will be fine as long as your not hunting a steep ridge/hill.
