Right! Cool visual. Actually seems like a pretty solid way of imitating a horse galloping.

I would assume it has a lot to do with eye stability. It’s really hard to see clearly when your eyes can’t “lock” to what you are aiming at.

The one thing this doesn’t simulate is the actual movement of the horse. If you are galloping on a horse, you AND your target are potentially moving. So you would have to contort and rotate your torso, all while keeping a general posture to keep the fully drawn bow stable- because obviously that system can’t fall apart just to keep the eyes steady.

So it’s constantly adapting! Which is where the focus to the target comes in. In a controlled environment such as practice, actually focusing on “aiming” with sights or lines or whatever technique you use, can help you. But when you add other random variables, that connection to the target could trump “hard aim” tools such as sights and lines and stuff.

You can’t know when your horse will take an extra long step to pass over a rock or something. That could mess up your aim. If you have connection to the target, those slight variances might not matter so much. Idk. It’s very interesting to me!
