Default RE: why is everyone talking about how far they can shoot

ORIGINAL: Hiawatha

it is actually amazing, you can shoot a few arrows at 30, a few at 40, then moveinto twenty and drill the bulls eye np. It is weird how that works just a mental thing i guess but it is true.
Just my opinion..... i think that when you step outside the 20 yard realm and shoot greater distances The intensity of your focus is that much greater to be able to hold steady and have good form. thats why when you go back to 20yards after shooting 30 and 40 even50, it seems easier because you are still aproaching your shot with that same focus you had at longer distances.

I would like to know if there is a scientific way to show how much more "steady" a shooter has to be to shoot well at 30 to 50 as opposed to 20 yards.

example
When shooting 50 yard if you barely move, your shot will be a foot off center.
say i move my arm the same amount at 20 yards how far will my arrow be off center? problypretty hard to figure something like that...any smart people feel free to chime in.

could just daw a straight line(good shot)and an angled line(bad shot)starting from the same point and mark off set points but thats not exactly real world

Theres probly too many variables for real world conditions.
