oh and I bought some new arrows and tuned them with some muzzy's. Maybe that will help.

Yeah, shooting from a tree stand does make a difference, especially on those close shots. If your not careful your lower bow limb will be touching the platform and when you shoot it throws everything out of whack.
Muzzy's are good, no doubt about that.
Deer jerky is hard to beat, my son eats the stuff like candy,lol.
Finally got back in the woods yesterday evening. At 4:00 I saw two does feeding on acorns 50 yds. away. At 4:30 saw movement on the same ridge and as the deer stepped into a small opening all I could see were antlers. Largest buck I have ever seen on my place, in fact he was the largest buck I have seen in many, many years. Only problem, he was 75 yards away and going in the wrong direction. I watched as he tore a sapling to shreds and made a scrape. I tried every trick in the book, grunt call, doe bleats, etc but he would have none of it. he made a semi circle around me tearing up trees the whole time, I though I was going to have a sroke, lol. I'll try again this evening, but i'm pretty sure he is not a resident buck he was just on the move checking things out. I'll probably never see him again.
Good luck to ya!!!
