Depends on how good you are at tillering! d;^)
  My rope is about 10' long. The block on my tree that the bow rests on is at eye level(I'm 5'8") and I like to stand back so I can see the overall bow easily.

Thanks Pat, that actually answers another question. Just didn't know I needed to ask it..ie tree height.

You want your bow at eye level so you get a good even look at it as it bends.
