Gottabow, I'm sure there are limits. Bow weight, materials, Draw length tiller, I'm sure all factor in. This is a very interesting question. Knifemaker

You shouldn't hold any wood bow at full draw any longer than it takes to get the shot off. The longer you hold it the weaker the bow gets and your arrow trajectory will change.
