Old Great Archers' Draw length and Anchor Question

[Lakeshooter]

I have been going back between two anchors for 3 under: one shorter around 27 1/4" closer to the front of my jaw and one about 28" a little further back (using middle finger nuckle on my jaw line).  After looking at videos/pictures, people like Fred Bear, Howard Hill, Byron Ferguson seem to have an anchor closer to the front but I could be wrong. Their anchor has worked well for them. I also think how far forward I lean when I draw and the sequence of my draw also place a part in this variance.  

2nd question: Did fred bear have a short draw, It seems like there are a lot of "short" bows in the bear line.

Different forms of shooting have different purposes and I am wanting to use mine for 3d and hunting. Hunting puts you in situations where you might not have the most room for consistent form. This is where I think the shorter draw would have an advantage. I have always read not to short draw yourself so Im just curious what your thoughts are. Thanks!

Let back tension tell you where to anchor..
Once fully extended find the place your fingers touch your face and stay with that.


Your elbow should be full back, your wrist should be relaxed, and your hook of your fingers to the string needs to be consistent.

With most people that will put your finger tips close to the corner of your mouth.
