Another. Bend at the Waist. I prefer shooting from a seated position if possible. Very solid. Kilboars Hunt Club
One thing I haven't seen mentioned is that the appropriate distance to consider when shooting from a treestand is the base of your tree to the animal. If your 30 ft up a tree and a deer is standing at the base of your tree, your rangefinder will say 10 yds. When in reality it's zero yards from the base of your tree. So all of the form advice aside, tho it's all valid, you will potentially shoot high from a treestand for this reason. The farther the deer is from your tree, the less significant the discrepancy is.

Bend at the waist is solid advice, however what alot fail to understand is that most have their top pin set at 20-25 yards. Many deer are shot much closer than that and that puts the arrow an 1" or 2" high . Couple that with a deer at those close yardage will quite often drop at the shot. Putting the arrow a little higher. Understanding deer behavior and shooting at relaxed deer and aiming lower at nervous deer can really help with well placed shots. I like to sight in for 22-23 yards as it puts my arrow at the right height at 10-15 yards to compensate for the downward trajectory. Always try to practice and understand what goes on with animal and the equipment as much as possible.
