Since so much of bow and arrow shooting revolves around perfectionism, the precision of shooting, it is not surprising that we tend to forget the path to getting there.
But a goal without a path is just a place, a given, without ups and downs. Never otherwise could it give us the feeling we get when one of our arrows finds its way to the center. It's a feeling of self-realization and influence, because we were able to create it. But once you, as an archer, have tasted this experience, you yearn for it again and again. You know the feeling, you know the circumstances of getting it, or at least you think you know it.
And so our gaze becomes increasingly fixed, because this one method has proven itself and led us to our goal. Yes, we Sagittarians do tend toward perfectionism, but how much room do we leave for our development and life? It's neither fun nor really meaningful to always follow the same path. And so, in life, a duality, a sense of losing oneself, is probably required to be able to find and achieve something again.
Anyone who has tried a new bow or an unfamiliar course after a long period of routine and, to their surprise, noticed an improvement in performance will know what I mean. It's the variety of options that ultimately keeps our goal within reach, not the one course, one shooting distance, or one group of archers whose company we think we need.
Life is simply much more colorful and so it always offers us new starting points for the same goal.
