Getting ready for a hunt coming up soon. On the ground my arrows are shooting great.... Even bare shaftng their shooting well.... But, Just climbed up in a tree and I'm grouping about 2 o'clock 6 inches from da mark???? I'm left handed if that helps???? Doesn't feel like I'm getting a full draw or anchor??? JUst might be in my head???? Any quuick fixs would be great....

If your in a tree stand your draw will shorten up just a bit because of the downward angle your shooting at..it may be it..practice more from the treestand will help also..you'll also tend to shoot alittle high at first..at least I do.

So If I got a shorter draw??? I guess I need to go up in point weight ??? Right??

try drawing first then bend at the waist...your draw shouldn't shorten.

Yep, bend at the waist - don't drop your arm.

What deadbolt said.  And even when bent over, you may not be releasing the same.  Really concentrate on your form and getting a clean release.  Also, the sight picture is a little different from a tree.  Just need to get used to it.  Good luck.

Clicker and/or try canting your bow more- can make a big difference when you are elevated.

Bears can attack people- although fewer people have been killed by bears than in all WWI and WWII combined.

Your shoulders should be in line with your arms and arrow.  You can only do this by bending at the waist or bending the front leg while keeping the back leg straight.  I'm no great shot but this has helped me even shooting downhill.
It's not the arrival, it's the journey.

Just practice!Your feet will usually be in a slightly different stance when in a tree which can effect your windage.When I'm practicing from the ground I will try to stand with my feet close togeather in the same way as in a stand.keep shootin and it will come to you.
Your best shot is only as good as your next one!

Make sure you bend at the waste, that is the main cause for most people hitting high on the target from a stand. Good luck, and good shooting.

Bend at the waste. But also aim low down they go. Or so I've heard.
