One of the simplest things about BB practice is one of the best things for a stickbow guy: Strength building. At 3-5 steps you can draw, hold (extended) and shoot with no concern about accuracy or wild arrows. Do enough of it and you can build muscle to where a 60+ pound bow can be fully drawn slowly to your anchor and then held several seconds with no loss of control. Whether you actually shoot with an extended hold or not is irrelevant. There is nothing but upside to additional strength and bow control. I've killed a number of animals at extremely close ranges where a slow draw was critical to not spooking them, and slow drawing used to destroy my accuracy.
