I didn't have a "modified set/swing" choice...
I use a 3/4 set with a 1/4 swing type draw.. Hard to describe but this works for me. LOL
Anyway to get consistant alignment is what its all about!!

In a hunting situation, it's also about Movement!

I practice and use both, along with push-pull. When hunting, I use what's most appropriate for the shot. On deer, for example, I usually use a combination of somewhat set arm with a little push. Very little movement that way. On the other hand, on a running rabbit, very likely to use swing arm.

No set method. The shot dictates how I draw. I do prefer more of a set draw with a little swing than either just a set or swing.

Definitely set arm in hunting situation due to less movement (I hunt from the ground).

Like Bob and Scott said, it's about movement for the hunter. Set arm.

I use both, and the shot/game dictates which one I use at the given moment.
Use set arm a large majority of the time cause that's what the shot calls for a large majority.

My swing draw is slow and deliberate. I draw up to 1/4 - 1/2 as I come up and then straight back, just as Mr. Schultz does in his video, works, have shot several deer on the move with this.

Just like Terry, I practice both of them.

I always shot swing draw but a few years ago I switched to set arm.
I did it for two reasons, one, set arm allowed me to draw with game closer and not spook at the draw.
Two, I am right handed and left eyed and sometimes my dominant eye tries to take over and my shots will go to the left. It seems with the set arm, I look at the point of the arrow for a second before switching my concentration to the target. This seems to tell my non dominate eye to get to work and the shot will be true.
