I don't have any trees big enough to climb, so I climb a 9' ladder to the next to the top rung and kind of lean against the roof and shoot from it. I would climb on the roof but it's too steep. My shoulders will be about 11-12' up when I'm shooting. I have my targets in front of four hay bales, in front of my wooden fence that I shoot down into. Get looks from the neighbors.

Then Call me crazey !!!
I go over to a freinds.
We use his sons 3 level tree fort ,about 12' ,16' and 20' up .
We have 6 targets at differant distances .
Or if the weather is bad or dark he comes to my house and we practice from the hay loft.
I only have 32 yds in side to the farthest target, but it's dry.

I sneak over to the school baseball field when all the buses are gone.Lean my deer target against the back stop and shoot from the top of my suburban. Once I shot arrows off my roof top.The field point went to the left of the target,through the wooden fence ,through the neighbors screen room and through his window. It was 6:00Am. I met him at his front door in his underwear and slapped a 50 .00 bill in his hand.That's when I moved to the ball field. Darn crooked arrows. My first 2 hit the vitals.

Crazy!!! You don't sound crazy to me. But then again I also sunk a 18 foot 6x6 timber for my climber because I couldn't find a good enough tree to use over a food plot. It would've been easier to just move a tree; 18 foot of 6x6 and the cement to stablize it is heavy.

My back yard is at an extreme slant so I use the pool deck. It is about 10 feet high. The gun club I go to also has a elvated platform that is 12 feet high.

This is all good. But, Burnie, in your case, I believe your wife just might be on to something.....
