For more information on this subject check out youtube.com Michael Waddell's comercial with a rangefinder and bow shots. Michael shows a target at 32 yds with his new compensating rangefinder but shoots it like a 25 yd shot. I'm will admit I'm getting confused some on this. I sight in my bow from the ground at known distances then set my pins. Climbing into a 16" ladder stand changes the shot angle/distance into the vitals slightly which requires a mental adjustment for arrow placement. There's no question that the higher you go the more drastic the shot angle becomes and the need to hold lower on the body or you will shoot over it. How these adjustments are made is the subject of ther debate. I will look and learn!

I have to disagree on this one. Once the site pins are set there are no further adjustments that can compensate for different angle shots except for the shooter to change the the arrows point of impact by adjusting up or down slightly. So in essence the pin used is not going to be exactly on without some sort of mental adjustment on where to hit for the perfect shot angle. This is how I do it, which is most likely different than how you'all do it.
