This is definitely a part of the shooter that you can settle for "good enough" in instead of "perfect".

For running cycles at the pyramid, you are probably right - this is something you can probably just get close enough and call it good. For trying to shoot full-field with high accuracy, these are the kinds of little things that make a difference between a 3' shot distribution pattern and a 1' pattern. Those kinds of marginal improvements are what separate the top shooters from the next tier.
Of course, this brings up an important point - always make sure you are designing to your own design's requirements. Doing the little things right can make a big difference if your design relies on great precision. If you don't need that level of precision, you probably can spend your effort elsewhere.
