how much does bows rise when you shoot out of 15' deer stand?

Question

how much do you think my crossbow (150lbs) would rise when you shoot out of a 15' deer stand at about 15-25 yards?

Answer 1

What makes shooting from higher ground more difficult is inaccurate distance estimates.

You need to be familiar with the surrounding of your tree stand so that you know reference points to help you take proper aim with accurate distance estimates.

Height makes everything seem farther.

The distance that counts when taking aim from a tree stand is not the direct line between you and the target but the distance between your target and base of the tree your stand is on (assuming you are on fairly level ground)

As for how much it will actually "rise" there is more involved to it than the rating of your crossbow. Practice makes perfect, take the time to know your crossbow.

Answer 2

at the angle from 15 ft at 20 yards shoot it as 20 yards, it dont make that much difference. main difference would be where you aim as compared to shooting from the ground will be the point on the deer you shoot to achieve a double lung pass throughyou would want to shoot slightly higher on the deer to compensate for the angle so that the arrow would pass through both lungs

Answer 3

You're going to be shooting about 3 inches further at 30 yards than you would be on the ground. You're also shooting with gravity which ever so slightly counteracts the distance.

Like the previous man stated: The difference is negligible.

Answer 4

Gee...did you ever think to practice a shot that you might take while hunting? Probably not, since you bought a cross bow. Why would you think of stepping into the woods without knowing the capabilities of yourself and your weapon of choice?

Sorry about the rant and rip, but that kinda struck a nerve.

Practice makes perfect.

Answer 5

Like a bullet an arrow don't rise at all,but pratice will set U straight in the field itself.
