The bottom line is......if you do what you do (be it a golf swing OR a bow shot) .....and you do the same thing every time.....then the value of proper mechanics is diminished.
I guess we just don't see eye to eye on this one. I can't speak for golf as I have never played but feelI am qualified to speak on behalf of archery and shooting form / sequence.
An error in archery form / shot execution multiply's the longer the distance the arrow travels. Let's say for one example that someone suffers from shot anticipation and flinches left or right at the release each time. A very common form of target panic.
Let's say in a
perfect world this person flinches the exact same every time. He would be able to sight his bow in
at agiven range.
Now lets back up 10 yards and see if the arrow still holds its line (left and right) to the target. There is not a chance the arrow would have the same point of impact on the horizontal plane.
The error will multiply over distance every time, there is no way around it especially becausewe don't live in a perfect world and it is impossible to do the same thing every time. There are alsoto many othervariables out of our control to contend with such as light conditions, wind etc. etc.
Just my opinion.
