Default Shooting Question

When shooting either at a target or an animal, do you guy's come down on on yourtarget and then release or up, etc... I find myself coming up on my targetsometimes, and not being as accurate as coming down on my target...

I do the opposite. I usually start high and come down. To me it feels more comfortable and I have always done it

When I am doing what I am supposed to be doing, I am drawing with my pin on or just around the target and then settling into it.

I draw very close, but above what I want to hit. I got this from reading and talking with Randy Ulmer after I read an article by him. The theory is that coming down is relaxing muscles to allow the bow to come down, relaxed == good shooting. Coming up you have to push the bow up by putting tension in the arm, tension is bad.

From a treestand I am always coming down a bit.

I don't come from any specific direction. I draw back and move the pin where it needs to go.
