I do........LOL.... that don't make it right. But it works for me.
In the beginner's mind there are many possibilities. In the expert's there are few...So the most difficult thing is always to keep your beginner's mind...This is also the real secret of the arts: always be a beginner.  Shunryu Suzuki

every one of us shoots a little different.  Do what is comfy to you and your body and don't worry so much about emulating others.

I think that's how Paul Schafer shot; but what did he know.  :)

That would be an ergonomically stronger and more comfortable postiton to draw from but it would defeat the purpose of 3 under to get the arrow closer to the eye to reduce your gaps. It's up to you in the end.
