I you want to get better, it helps to focus on what you're doing, every shot. I spend a lot of time doing that these days.
But frankly, that wasn't the reason I took up archery in the first place, and certainly wasn't the reason I switched from compound to traditional bows. I was in a high stress job at the time, and "just flinging arrows" was a great stress reliever. I'm too fidgety to meditate, and never wanted to start smoking pot, so archery does the trick for me. Now that I'm retired, I have a lot less stress, but if something happened to get me all worked up again, I wouldn't hesitate to just fling some arrows!
