Ossage,

Again, this is a hunting device for the most part- and that is its use to me. The NP does not have to be "dead nuts" centered to shoot good groups. And in a hunting situation out to 25yds, 1-2" point of impact difference doesn't mean much to me if my NP is not perfectly lined up. You can have the dot off a bit and still be 3-4" on target out to 30yds.

This is not like shooting baby-X's on a Vegas face where that 1" change is going to put you down on the rankings.

If I notice the NP is not within my tolerances for a green light shot, then from using it for soooo long now it is second nature to me for the adjustment. And generally the only time for adjustment is shooting downward from an elevated position- and from not fully bending at the waist. The NP really shines in that instance. You hear of SO many people hitting high when shooting downward angles, and that can come from form deterioration and by just dropping the bow arm instead of bending at the waist.

Yes, for top shooters the "one thought in mind" is neccessary for intense target settings where pressure can get the best of you, and that 1/2" difference on the target face can mean a 1st place victory or a 5 place rank. But when bowhunting, I have a different thought process- line up the shot, make sure no branches or twigs are in the way, pick a spot and pulllllll. There is huge differences in shot sequence for me between a target and bowhunting scenario. I'm not sure I even have a shot sequence for bowhunting. "Make it work with the conditions you're in", that's pretty much it.

My target shot sequence would absolutely NOT work in a hunting situation- it's all out the window at that point. I can't place my feet absolutely perfectly on the line. I may not be able to have my whole body perpendicular to target. I may have to throw back a draw VERY quickly if the window of opportunity is short. I may have to hold for much longer than usual if a shot doesn't present itself. I may have to shoot very quickly. Etc..... There's no way my shot sequence would let me do things "as normal".
