Thanks!

Are you sure that there is nobody down there?? Looks like there are plenty of trees to me...
All that extra movement during drawing does NOT help arrow speed/distance - how can it? You would need to be running forward just prior to the loose to get any extra distance. Just because others do something does not mean it's right....look at the physics ;)

I think we have had a conversation like this before as well mikekeswick, would you mind sharing your personal achievements? I am not full on agreeing or disagreeing but with respect those that bash and preach against are usually ones who can not match these achievements. Have you ever come close to a 325 yards with standard or a livery shot of 274 yards? These were achieved by a guy who does do the rolling loose.....doesn't look like its hurting him all that much...
Yes I stand behind my comment that there were no people down there, this is no provincial park, it is indeed bush.
Cheers,

Ok!
Get yourself an accurate (electronic makes it easier to see) scale and hook up your bow.
Draw it once quickly and note the reading at full draw.
Draw it again trying to replicate the hold times with your preferred method of shooting and note the reading.
They will be different.
Even if you forget the other pros/cons of your preferred shooting style the difference in weight will make a difference to how far/fast your arrows will fly. Am I right or wrong?!
Wether or not I have got distances of 274 or 325 yd with a heavy bow is irrelevant - the laws of physics are still the laws of physics!! Holding a flight (or any) bow at full draw is not going to help with the distance achieved!
To my credit i've made a few decent flight bows (I would like to think) but have never really been interested in making heavy bows or shooting them. I normally only shoot when i'm too tired to climb these days anyway so heaving a heavy bow back isn't happening...because i'm resting :)
Regarding the 'fall zone' just saying that it isn't a park doesn't mean there is nobody down there. Heck shoot where you want it makes no difference to me but not everybody stays in parks....
