I either pre point or swing draw, depending on the window of opportunity the game gives me.  Probably 90% pre point.

I 'aim' before I ever draw and I bring the equipment to me, I don't adjust to the equipment after full draw is reached as I never stop pulling. Kind of like 'aiming' binoculars, you don't look through the binoculars and then start searching for the animal you've spotted, you keep your eyes on the animal and bring the binos to your eyes and the animal will be in view without searching.  That's probably the best way to say how I draw.

Of course, as in the 'Form Clock' thread on the shooters forum, I use a double anchor to get to my 'Magic T' aka proper alignment. I call it the Magic T because once you get it down, you can take that 'proper alignment/form' to various positions to manufacture a shot in the field.  The Magic T is the opposite of a 'one trick pony'.

These Clips are from 2005 exept for the 'over the pond'.  Can't remember maybe 2008 or 9.

Right now, with my teeth.  :bigsmyl: I hold the bow up in front and grab the mouth tab. Then pull straight back. Every arrow in a 3" Bull out out to 13 yds. Nerve issues cause too much shaking after that and can't shoot more than about 10-15 arrows during a session.
It's really simple. Just don't take those borderline shots. Tomorrow is another day.

Nice Gun, I had to do that a few years back.  I blew my ulna tendon saving a huge stage prop for my daughter. We both got medals, her for best actress in state, and mine I get to wear every day till I'm off this planet.  :bigsmyl:

Terry, it doesn't get any better as we age. I did all kinds of crazy stuff when I was young. I also used to run 5-10 miles every other day for years. I walk now. Lets just say I wasn't blessed with the right genetics.

But not complaining one bit. I have been blessed with family and some hunting skills. I'm also not quitter. Some may think it bragging or showing off. I just to want show people where there is a will there is a way.

Moose taken lefty after first injury and a lifetime of shooting right handed. It only took a month to adjust.

That's cool Gun. Yeah, I'm 'kinda' ambidextrous as I can pick up a lefty and out to 15 is in the game from the start.  No were near the distance I'm accurate as a righty, but I could pull it off in a pinch if I needed to borrow a bow while on a hunt.
