Found myself hijacking another thread so I started this one.

I keep hearing that one should bend at the waist (on a downward shooting angle) before shooting?

The object is to line up your eye with your peep, pin and target correct? So where your target is will determine whether or how much you bend won't it? If your target is 15 or 20 yds away and you're 25' in the air then in order to line up your eye, peep, pin, and target you will have no choice but to bend at the waist will you? In order to get the right site picture bending should be automatic shouldn't it? Is it just that simple or am I missing something? Is this some sort of additional or special bending because that's the way it seems to me that people talk about "bending at the waist".

What am I failing to understand?
