its even more important in a hunting situation than on flat ground, and that's where your analogy goes astray. if you've got a twisting and angling shot, its even more important to have correct references on your bow and sight. with the situation you're bringing up, we're talking about 3-4" difference at 20 yards because of torque induced by your bow hand. its why i don't shoot a peep on my hunting bow, but a no-peep or anchor sight that instantly tells you if you're torquing.

if it wasn't important, and a necessary thing, competition shooters wouldn't use them.

i'd rather have a torque indicator on my hunting bow than 2nd and 3rd axis adjustments if i had to choose, but luckily i don't.

on my 3d bow there is no way on earth i would ever knowingly buy a sight without these adjustments.

i wouldn't buy a sight for my hunting bow without them either, but i could get away with it, but why? i'm shooting at a living creature i respect and i'm not aiming at a pie plate, i'm aiming at a hair.

you've got about 10 million times more room for error in golf than you do in archery. we're not hitting fairways, and i certainly hope you're not trying to tell people these adjustments don't matter in archery.
