Hi Guys, The 'usefulness' of science. All science says is that assuming all the parameters stay the same a given input will produce a predictable result Change the input, change the result. The hang up comes with the assumption that we all shoot perfectly every time and that there is no such thing as 'bokkoors'!
How do you fix it? Shoot a lot. You can never learn to ride a bike by watching a video or reading a science book, you've got to get up on it and doing your falling off like everyone else!That does not make the scientific explanation wrong or irrelevant. Same as a crappy release or poorly tuned arrow getting poor penetration, that is the scientific result!
I agree with Paul, you have to do a lot of your own practising and then the 'meaning' of the science will be meaningful, lol.Kind of like gravity you don't have to understand it or 'believe in it' it's there anyway.
I am sure our Bushmen in the Kalahari have no clue how scientifically elegant the mechanism of their arrow poison is, but they do know, where to dig for grubs, how to prepare it, that they have to get close, to shoot straight, how to track their game and that it works! That is why they use it.
thanks for the thread fun debates here
