Del the cat and Rod.
Is it this draw your talking about. Looks really efficient and natural in some way. How about using it on lower weight Bows. I'm a beginner at shooting and was thinking of giving at try.
Look at 2.40 in the vid. I especially like that draw.

What I notice in this video more than anything is looking at the the three blokes shooting together.
I notice that Steve is "sitting" slightly as he comes to full draw which is something I do myself in certain situations, and interestingly enough, a technique espoused by some Oriental teaching on handling a war bow.
No doubt influenced by horseback archery usage, but applied in some schools of archery on foot.
But what I notice more than anything is who makes the least fuss and display of effort.
To me this is a sign of control always assuming that the arrow consistently confirms this view.
Not to say that someone with a more fussy, less economic style could not be as accurate, but in the long run, I think it less likely.
If we look at the draw of Ratty that features on his posts, we will see that he draws with his wrist bent.
Not the worst or most blatant example, but he retains a little of this right up to his loose.
This is a sure indicator of slightly too much use of the hand, too little use of the back and not quite achieving full extension and a straight line of force.
Not an extreme examople, admittedly, and it does not imply that he does not have control, just that he is doing more work than he needs to and doing that work in a slightly less efficient manner.
And giving up some draw length.
