Hell yeah you do. So, there are lots of ways to shoot a bow and situations where you can shoot a bow. Some times people are hunting a moving target, so that’s like throwing a rock. You look at your target, big brain math happens in your head and you let it rip. That’s different from shooting a controlled shot, at say a tournament or sometimes while hunting.

When you have time to make a great shot, the distance and wind are judged and you adjust your sight if you thought you needed to. After seeing what the first arrow did you could adjust again.

But the main idea is that you think about it, set your sight or what ever, and then your mind goes back to your shot cycle. It’s way more mental than a lot of folks appreciate. Your not just trying to make the same physical movements each time, but try also thinking the same thoughts each time you shoot. Have fun with that last one haha

I’m not even a good archer. But the idea is that the bow going off is like an explosion and the human mind hates explosions. Your body will shrug your shoulders and close your eyes to try and prepare you for the shock of if. Those movements will make you miss at any real distance.

Again, I don’t fully understand it, but the aiming is easy. Just close one eye and hold you thumb up to any target. You brain just does it. The hard part is not messing it up once it’s aimed.
