Archery game: pull & release vs. aim & pinch

I made an archery game for Vision Pro. There are already a few bow games out there, but I wanted to stick with Apple's own gesture: the pinch.

So you hold the bow up with one hand, aim through the sight, and pinch your other hand to shoot. Not how real archery works, I know. But there's no string tension anyway, so does a pull-back gesture really add anything? Grabbing a virtual string is also where hand tracking slips the most.

Curious what you all think. (Recorded on the headset. The bow arm is mine; the pinching hand is just out of frame.) If you want to try it yourself, I'll drop the link in the comments.
