It may be that the nearer shot situations tend to have short heart pounding windows of opportunity and I don't want to have to think about adjusting my hold, while long shot situations usually provide more time to think about appropriate holdover. On the other hand, using a 6 O'clock hold for shorter shots gives you a better sight picture than does the holdover approach for longer shots..
