I don't really think about, but most of my family was taught to shoot rifles from a very young age.
Follow through may be an unconscious action if taught at very young ages.
With modern arms my sister was such a good shot that she was encouraged to go into the Olympics by people at our range. If she did go in, I am thinking it would have sapped all the fun out of shooting sports for her, and I believe she found other pursuits that interested her more anyway.
My best shots on targets were usually thought of with thinking that it was all part of one action from me to the target, even if there was a series of actions that lead up to that single moment.
When using my self bows I just shoot to hit what I want, it was only after looking at a video that someone else took of myself shooting that there was any kind of follow up. I don't really notice it otherwise and do what feels natural in my use of it.
Most days I shoot well, some days I shoot just alright, if I shoot badly, which is rare for bow practice, I don't shoot anymore for fear of developing bad habits.
It was mentioned earlier about a flintlock hunting situation. In this case it seems quite important to remain still and confirm the strike, because of extra motions spooking newly adrenaline filled game after a hit; an extra action for the animal to notice and flee from.
