Hold at anchor, or not?
Scowler:
I hold just long enough to get a good look at what I'm trying to hit. I guess that would be about a second.
Pat B:
I already have a sight pic before I draw. I know where the arrow will go before I draw. When it gets to the time to draw I don't want anything to get in the way of my concentration. When I begin feeling tension on the string I want my brain to take over and my body to do what it was tought after thousands of concentrated shots.
With my style of shooting my index finger touching the corner of my mouth is the trigger. If I find my release short I will "reset" my brain by holding for a second or two then I go back to the way I normally shoot. If I hold too long there is too much that will get in the way of my concentration.

For years and years I shot like HOWARD HILL draw (fluid) touch ym archor release. I shot fast. But I shot heavy bows hight 60's to low 70's. (HIS WAY OF SHOOTING HEAVY BOWS) I did really well to about 7 OR 8 years ago I had some target panic one summer.
I DROPED DOWN IN WEIGHT ot mid to high 50's AND STARTED HOLDING A GOOD SECOND. (GOT RID OF MY TARGET PANITIC) Never went back I like that controled feel. But no matter what when the bucks steps into my spot and I know I'm going to shoot. Other than picking my spot. I don't remember a thing when I shoot. The arrows just there or a blood spot.
IF YOU REMEMBER WHAT YOU DID YOUR NOT SHOOTING TRUE INSTINTIVE. AND DON'T TRY TO WHATCH YOUR ARROW FLY. NEVER TAKE YOUR EYE OFF YOUR SPOT UNTILL YOUR ARROW HITS. Thats follow through worse thing you can do (in practice) is watch your arrow fly.
