Let's not make this harder than it needs to be for the boy.
Yes, elevated shots should be practiced however, using perfect form and bending at the waist your arrow should be dead nuts where you hold.
BUT if you don't bend at the waist but simply drop your bow arm yes, your arrow is going high because of poor form (ie your changing the triangle from peep, sight, anchor)

When shooting from an elevated platform though, you need to be careful. Should you have to shoot in close, your 20 yard pin might be off because of the downward angle.

Start at 20 unless your bow is shooting like 200fps and everything under 20 will be as dead on as you need. Unless your like 2 yards away then use your 40 yrd pin. trust me.

When shooting from a tree, you not only have to bend at the waist, but you need to also bend your neck, touch the string with your nose...If you don't do this you are raising the rear sight and when you raise the rear sight, you shoot high...
I have an older, slower bow, I use one pin for 15 yards and one for 25...
