OK, I know that when shooting from an elevated position, because of less arrow drop due to gravity, you aim lower than normal for the same distance from a non-elevated position. I forget the sine/cosine/tangent equation. I had planned to practice a lot from an elevated position simulating a treestand but the archery range at my gun club has not yet put a platform on the scaffolding for this purpose. So, I'm looking for very knowledgeable shooters who can tell me more or less exactly where to aim under these specific circumstances:
1. 15 feet high, 15 yards from target, how much lower does one aim at the bullseye than one normally would at 15 yards from horizontal? (0.5", 1", 1.5", 2", 2.5", what?)
2. 15 feet high, 20 yards from target, how much lower to aim?
3. 15 feet high, 25 yards from target, how much lower to aim?
Thanks a bunch!
What I'll probably do for extra practice is take my climbing stand and use it on a tree near camp with my broadhead target to check, the evening before the first hunt day. (if I can find a smooth tree)
