With this form I notice that Howard did not "kiss the back of the bow," as on would do when one is over bowed and they drive there head forward in effort to shorten the draw length/weight. He also did not "short draw" with his draw hand, he brought that thumb knuckle behind his jaw bone, with his elbow brought back not out to the side. The only thing left to "shorten" is the bow arm, a good bend in it.
That is what I'm trying to understand, did he push the bow hand toward the target? Kind of tough to do when you are letting it bend.
Looks like he just pretends he is "picking up a hare by the ears," or "passing a gallon of milk" to somebody. Of course what I mean by that is the natural bent arm position one adopts when the lift an object out to ones side.
Awesome bow Ron, how does that yew compare to the boo??
