shooting short bows..

im thinking of making a short bow or two, with shorter than normal draw.  how do you guys shoot them?  do you still hit the same anchor? or do you have a different anchor when shooting them.  the mini hornbow i have made me think of it..

Josh:
I usually just bend my bow arm more and hit the same anchor.  Using shorter arrows with it helps or if you are gonna use your regular arrows then wrap some thread around the arrow at the bow's drawlength so you can feel the thread cross the arrowpass/your hand when the bow is at full draw to keep from over drawing it.  That's what I do and it works great for me. Good luck!

aznboi3644:
when I shoot my short bows I anchor loosely under my chin with a pinch grip...thats between 20-24" draw.

JW_Halverson:
I shoot short bows the same exact way I shoot longbows and any other bow.  Poorly.  >:D
