I mean, shooting and archery would absolutely fall into the same category.
In reality, Bowling is much more complicated than it appears at first glance. The lane is covered in a thin layer of oil in a specific pattern. The pattern greatly affects the difficulty of hitting the pocket at the right angle to get a strike (effectively your play surface is invisible). On top of this, the pattern changes as others bowl on it. So even when you know the correct line, in two frames you may have to change your shot a little to continue hitting strikes.
The pattern of the oil greatly affects how difficult the game is. Most league bowlers bowl on a "house shot" which will have no oil on the outside of the lane and more on the inside, this can make the room for error to be 5-10 boards, due to this many good league bowlers average 220+. You take that same bowler and put them on a "sport" pattern, or a PBA pattern, and they would be lucky to shoot 170. Those patterns may mean the bowler has 1-2 boards of room to miss, and potentially if you miss any more than that your ball travels off course by a couple pins.
