What Pappy said.  When your shooting at target from the ground, your arrow is pretty much at 90 degrees of your body and parallel to the ground.  Your aim sight is straight with the arrow.  You need to keep the arrow and your body at that 90 degree angle by bending at the waist.   If you just drop your bow arm, your anchor point changes angle and the sight picture will be straight on, but the arrow is going to be point high.  If you have time an opportunity, start your pre-draw straight out in front of you, then bend at the waist until the deer is in target, THEN draw your bow.

Eric Krewson:
I pretty much have the bend at the waist thing figured out having bow hunted out of trees for the last 35 years. I have killed more deer with a selfbow than all my wheel and recurve kills combined.

Here is my practice range, I shoot from 16ft up off a platform on the deck, and yes, I bend at the waist to shoot.

Aaron H:
That's a great practice range Eric

Eric Krewson:
Some of those deer are 35 years old, I keep patching them and shooting them. I have 16 more 3D targets in the basement most bought shot up for $20 or less after big tournaments and repaired by me.

Sockrablur:
Wow that's awesome, I have never seen a practice range like that. Fun!
