Bow Hunting

SIX, nice V pic.
I am assuming you have some new archers that view here, so do you also have the views (or a link to) of shot placements on deer that they are actually likely to see from the tree stand? Views from 10 to 20 feet off of the ground, with the deer at 11 to 20 yds from the tree base. I don't know where to find those pictures, except in my head, and they are imbedded in my second/other brain cell, and you can't have that.
Most practicing on the level full body type pictures, or dots on plain targets, will give you excellent shot placement skills, but leave you guessing when the buck is under the stand. It's a whole different view. The heart/lung shot placement on the level is a skin down the outside of the ribs from 20 feet up.
You don't need expensive 3-d targets to get used to shooting into something three dimensional, like a deer. You also don't need to shoot a lot of arrows to see where the difference is in aiming, either. I used to shoot off of my roof down into a large pampers diaper box, using the chimney to simulate the tree, and changing sides to simulate the deer coming from different angles. I did it three or four times before going into the field. I learned to pick the spot I wanted, and put the arrow in that spot. It also covered the difference in angle & drop, although I didn't see that much difference at the close ranges when I switched to a flat shooting compound.
Shot placement skill & easy range limit test. Using a small paper plate (desert size), don't shoot any distance further than you can hold six out of six in that plate. Place a quarter size dot on the plate to shoot at instead of the whole plate. You'll end up concentrating on the dot more than the plate.
BTW, I bookmarked your Larry Wise link, Thanks. Good Luck on your hunt. LC
