overdrawing your bow ?

[Tradcat]

Hey guys...I shortened my draw up a little and I now see tighter groups...especially at longer distances. My question may sound silly but how do you know for sure just where to stop drawing your bow to get the optimum performance in accuracy? In other words, what things do you look for that tell you for sure that you're where you need to be as far as the length of your draw... I hope Moebow chimes in on this thread...thanks

Tradcat,

IF you are using your bones to hold your bow at full draw, you cannot overdraw.  IF you are using your arm to draw, then overdrawing is nearly  guaranteed or at least much more possible.

Get a solid "bone" bridge from bow hand to string shoulder, let your string arm move into your face, find your references, and there you are.

Your anchor references are a RESULT of your draw, NOT a target to be hit and then conform  your body around.
