That is the thing about archery, its having consistency and control in the variables. The guys like Fred Bear and Pearson, not to mention native americans, were just dang good at it because they did it all the time. Nowadays you can get a bow almost as dialed in as a crossbow for a casual shooter, hence the popularity. Its still challenging but a heck of a lot easier than it ways.
I think archery technology of today from re-curve bows evolved in similar fashion as to black powder muzzle loading guns to hammer guns with cartridges.
