need help from you pros

Its not particularly primitive, but you could use a rubber O-ring from an automotive repair shop on the arrow shaft at the pile end. Get some small enough to be a tight fit on the shafts, but still possible to move back and forth until you you establish your actual drawlength. Used and discarded O-rings are fine so long as you clean them well, but absolutely DO NOT use any that have been fire damaged as they have nasty chemicals in their 'rubber' base which become active when burnt.

I use glue on heads on my arrows, and when I draw I can feel the glue behind the point on my knuckle when I get to proper draw. Then I release. This is especially helpful when shooting bows with a shorter draw than your normal drawlength.

Very good to get these ideas please keep them coming
TRACY:
When my right middle finger tip touches the right corner of my mouth it's there-release. Are you holding the bow more vertical now? If so, cant it to open up sight window more. Good luck!

I know each his own but sorry I can see someone worry about not useing everything natural like fake sinew or say super glue or dozzens of other things and wanting to use a clicker. Not saying this is you.
I've used a tooth for as long as I've shot or use a dobble anckor IF YOU HAVE TO. Sorry just can't see a couple indains setting around a camp fire one holding the others bow while the other ties on a clicker. Saying not the fake sinew get the real stuff. I like to go natural.
Do you think the indains for 10,00 years set around a talked back tention. I saw you shoot at that elk today you missed because you did have nearly enough back tention.
Keep it TO 20 or under and you can kill all you want. I DO. Getting close is the name of the game RIGHT.
When it comes to killing game (taking the shot) there won't be time to remember do I have the right back tention. Learn to (keep) do everything natural. That why it's called instintive shooting.
You shoot without throught. All you need to do is remember to pick your shot. The only thing you need to remember.
KISS METHOD works everytime for me. I have the mounts ,skulls and totes full of antlers to prove it. LEARN TO SHOOT NATURAL
By the way back tention only came around with the compound. I'VE READ EVERY OLDER BOW BOOK I COULD FIND THE LAST 40 PLUS YEARS. NOT ONE FROM BEBORE THE 80'S TALKS OF BACK TENTION. When drawing a tradatioal or primite bow back tentions comes natural. You only need to a ply back tention when releaseing a let off bow. SO IF YOU DOING THE NATURAL THING YOUR ALREADY APPLYING THE CORRECT BACK TENTION.
Try drawing and releaseing a primitive or traditional bow with out useing back tention. It's there you don't have to think about it. NATURAL
