Come to a stop and hold. I think the biggest issue with short or inconsistent draw at least for me is not coming to a nice stop and anchor. Once I started to draw all the way back and anchor on my face the same place and then hold it, my groups got so much better and so did my aim.

If you need to, use a lighter bow until you get it.

Good luck
Sam

Drop down in weight on your bow and get used to coming to full draw before you shoot.

What has helped me the most is adopting Rick Welch's double anchor.  I touch the knuckle of my drawing hand lightly against my ear lobe, then I tilt my nose down to touch the back of the feather.  I worked wonders for me.  It is all shown and explained in Rick's latest video.  His method does, however, work best with shield-cut feathers and with cock feather down.

All good suggestions here.  For the longest time, I had a fear of coming to full draw and felt that I was going beyond the bow's limit.  Now I have dropped bow weight and learned a consistent sequence and anchor as mentioned above.
