It is a crude picture but I hope it’s help . . .

Try attaching a narrow board to a spotting scope mount set to 45 degrees for a reference.  Since I have positional vertigo, it is just before I fall down! (lol) (SH) >:D

DC:
The problem I'm having is that I'm shooting the bow. Therefore I'm standing behind it and the arrow, from my position, looks almost vertical. If I was an observer, standing off to the side, these are good ideas. But from the archers position it's really hard to tell. I just thought there would be a way for the archer to tell when he's got 45°. Do you all depend on a buddy? Look at this post https://www.primitivearcher.com/smf/index.php/topic,65019.0.html
We both thought we were close to 45°. I'm at 35 and Sabb is at 40. When he's shooting the longbow he's even lower but he may have been shooting at the knight.

Hawkdancer:
Having the reference "arrow" at 45 degrees and your draw height should allow you to use your peripheral vision to line up.  A microphone stand may have better adjusting capabilities..  Practice also!

AndrewS:
You need a construction of 3 wooden slats. 2 vertical and the third in 45 degrees in between (you can change the angle of the third slat, so you can go for the right angle between 40 and 45 degrees)

When shooting, place next to the construction and make sure that the arrow has the same directional position as the third slat.

If you have practiced enough, you wil not need the construction anymore.
