Subconscious -- a conscious action practiced and perfected to the point that you perform it on auto-pilot while focused on something else entirely.  

Of course a big-ole white-tail buck, screaming bull, strutting turkey has the uncanny ability to short-circuit well-tuned subconscious actions and send any one of us back to square one!

This is the goal for nearly every step in the shooting process.

Oh, another definition needed: Legend

It always surprises me how many guys that are ordering arrows from me don't know what "bop" is or how to measure it. I just remind myself that we all have to start somewhere.
