kyudo doesn't really work as an argument because hitting the target isint the goal.
That's not true of all, or even most, historical and extant kyudo koryu, though 'accurate', at least to some extent, of the highly Zen-affiliated Heki-ryu widespread in North America. Even they have targets, so ...
"Tea and Zen are one" is a popular saying amongst chanoyu practitioners, and Rikkyu's tea is certainly deliberately a vehicle of Zen, but if there ain't tea in the bowl when you hand it to the guest, you can be as enlightened as the Buddha and still be a lousy host.
