There isn't any type of loose there is no such thing as a D loose, the rolling loose well as much as I like the people that use it isn't a theory certainly not a fact, they look at period artwork where the archers is drawing low and copy that as the first movement. It works for some but if you look at the physics they are only losing power by doing it.

Ok, thanks guys  :)  Must have just been my imagination then.  There was a youtube vid posted by G. Carnie demonstrating the "rolling loose" which sparked my curiosity.  I prefer to draw and loose as Mark Stretton does, with the backside sticking out.  I get made fun of at my club but it makes pulling heavy draw weights so easy I see no reason why someone can't reach 100+ lbs in a month or two.

Ah, that sounds more like methods of draw rather than loose...
And I'd agree that one needs to find a way to utilse the whole body...I'd love to see one of those target archers who blether on about form, trying a T draw on a 100lb bow >:D

'Sticking your butt out' while drawing is actually proper form for drawing heavy bows, and is called 'shooting in (into) the bow.' It allows you to use your entire body to draw a heavy bow. As far as the loose goes, I prefer not to use a rolling loose, but rather a sustained loose, more like conventional flight shooters. For pure flight shooting, the longer you leave the bow at full draw, the less cast it will have. Flight shooters almost snap shoot, only allowing the bow to remain at full draw for a very brief instant. A rolling loose requires a much longer period of having the heavy bow at full draw. All that jumping and lungng forward is also unnecessary. It looks good, but imparts no extra energy to the arrow. I think some guys do that to make sure they are following through.
