By that, do mean that it should apply when you are not aiming? I wouldn't take issue with that, but that's not how it's worded in the article:

When aiming, if your ST is equal to the ST of the bow, take a -2 penalty to skill;

If it only applies when aiming, then it might as well be an Acc penalty. [Ninja'd]

Having said that, thinking it through, I think I do see how it could end up being worse to aim—in having to hold the draw for a full second while you line up the target (hence the rule to limit how long you can do that at all).
