Default Advantage of shooting a longer sight

I have recently got back into 3D archery after a 6 year break. I shoot a Mathews LX at 70# draw weight and a Sure-Loc 6" sight extention. I see in some pictures that most people shoot their sights in between 9 to 12"s. What is the advantage?

The more far apart the components of the sight mechanisms the more accurate the sight.

Even though some revolvers may shoot as well as some long rifles, it is still easier to hit a target with the long rifle.
