How long do you hold your draw?

Redshaft,  Rod and I talked about this at length when I took his class "thicker gloves and tabs" that is.  When you start to release with your hand going forward, you end up with WAY more string drag on the fingers than with a "pull through" and relaxed finger release.  Rod's position on the (and I agree 100%) release is IF you are releasing by relaxing your fingers AND pulling through, your calluses will actually disappear.  So no reason to have to search out a thicker form of finger protection.

Snap shooing is a style, and not a dissorder,.....HH was a snapper...got post on that too here by Ron LaClair I'll try to find...

You can Snap Shoot incorrectly or hold for 10 days and shoot incorrectly.  Doing either incorrectly is the problem.....do both correctly and there is no problem.

It sure makes me happy to see this for a change. I'm really tired of all the folks which refer to snap shooting as "target panic". There is a very big difference between premature release and snap shooting.
Premature release involves never having reached anchor to begin with, Snap Shooting is a fluid and fast draw, anchor, and release while maintaining form and sight picture. It is not an uncontrolled shot sequence.

And just for the record I do not believe in "Target Panic", only in uncontrolled shooting. If you control your shot, whether consciously or subconsciously (requiring a lot of proper practice, which I believe blind bail is best), you won't have the issues most refer to as target panic.
Funny how the only shooters I know that have "target panic" are those that believe it exists.
 Okay, slam away... I can take it.
But I'll never be convinced it is anything but uncontrolled shooting.

I know for me , the minute I begin thinking about anything but the piece I wanna drill; my shot will be off. If I try to go thru a checklist of what a proper formed shot should look like , my concentration goes by the wayside and it shows. However, if I'm boring a hole into the minute portion of whatever it is I am shooting at, I'm going to hit it.

In other words, bow arm comes up ,drawing and whamo !! Arrow appears where I am looking. That simple. That being said, I'm not sure I'd actually teach someone to shoot that way...I just know it works for me.
