I'm all for keeping it fair. Shoots sound fun, I have limited experience with them, and I wish I had more locally available.
From the perspective of a 3 under instinctive-ish shooter (am I gapping?).... who the hell cares if your neighbour is string walking. Let's all just shoot our bows and try to shoot straight and not wound animals.

String walking is no big advantage on unmarked distances. You still have to estimate distance and execute the shot. I string walked in the 60s but marked field distances. Yes, it was very effective there.

String walking, not fixed crawl but true string walking, produces poor arrow flight with broad heads and is therefore not good for hunting. That’s why it’s usually illegal at 3D shoots. Regardless, if the rules say no, whether it makes sense or not, well, you know what to do.
