DC. that's interesting. I hadn't thought of that.  ive been playing around with this pre set pre draw thing since I posted this. my goodness im hunt ready if I just have a set pre draw. naturally I just want to swingdraw but with paper cup accuracy at twenty yards im not going to discriminate! hope the guys in my club don't mind (they do discriminate... heavily XD)

shoot how you shoot best,, hitting the target is the only thing that matters, not what you look like

JackCrafty:
Maybe the "half-draw" is done because the string has very little tension at brace and the archer is simply putting some tension on the string so the arrow can be held easily.  I don't know if African tribes make bows with low brace tension but some ancient bows were probably made this way to prevent wear on the strings.  Of course, there is no proof of this with ancient bows.  Just my opinion.  :)

The draw style that you described reminded me of a video I watched the other day showing a guy who pretty much stands by that half draw technique and explains it and shows it in detail.
Here's the link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=414_zlmriAo

Like everyone has said, do what works for you best. I'm just starting out, and I realize that what works for me best will change on the situation too. So I like this style of shooting, and it seems to come easy to me, but since my only bow is moderately light in poundage, I know I can't afford to do only half draw. It seems to me that this technique is great in hunting situations because of the maneuverability of only have to do half a draw, but only if your bow is high enough poundage to kill something with half draw.

That's just my 2 pennys, hope this helped! Watch the video, it explains it better than me!
