pinch draw arrows

willie:
was the pinch draw used for the full length (Mediterranean?) draw or for shorter arrows and drawlengths?

EdwardS:
Pop's bow drew about 25" or so.  The one he kept put away for safe keeping, anyway.  He shot a compound normally, but had a sinew-backed cypress with a gut string that was passed down to him.  He drew short with it.  That's about all I know.  He let me try it once.  Must have been a 90 pound bow (just an estimate as I once shot at 85# and it was still harder than that.)  Pop was an amazing man.
