wow, that was an exciting read.

now that the ethics discussion is over, Mike. 

What was the angle if you can recall?

A downhill shot requires yardage to be cut out of your shot.  Each archer / bow set up will yeild slightly different results, but as an example. 

if I were shooting a 35 degree downhill shot at 55 yards (pretty steep) I'd need to cut 10.9 yards out and hold for 44.1 yards on the shot.

sounds like that's right about where you ended up, albeit accidentally.  of course, angle is pretty critical.  Just 10 degrees less on the same shot (25 degrees down) would require only 6.9 yards to be cut out with a final hold of 49.1 for the 55 yard shot.

Yah my Range finder has the Angle for the dangle in it, so my problem I think was pure exitement and i just needed to slow my mind down a bit... wrong pin placement i was suppose to have put it inbetween my 50 and 60 and i put it in 40 and 40 ...I think im going to get myself a tree stand and I think that will help , I wont be as " pressured" and both me and the buck will not be alerted...give myself more time.yah know..I think a treestand will help me a lot in that respect.
