Arthur...don't put words in my mouth. I'm not the one that told you your way was all in your head.
I only suggested that there might be anothermethod than the one you employ (and a damned proficient group of archers has backed that suggestion up). I can't answer your question, though. I don't know enough about target archery or archery competition to speak intelligently about it. Maybe perfection can't be achieved? maybe the new methods allow "less" skilled archers to excel? Maybe you're awesome?
We're playing on the same football field we played on since the game began.....and the record for a field goal was only "matched" a few years ago.....and only once. Are the athletes not getting bigger, stronger? Aren't the kicking techniques getting better?
The peep/sight ring method HAS made me a better archer. Would it make you a better archer? Not if you don't think it's a viable technique. Who knows what you might have been capable of?
