Default RE: Release and anchor point ?

I started out that way as well, but after I changed it I liked it better. It took some getting used to, but was worth it. It's not always too long of a draw length on the bow either. It can be from a long string loop and or too long of a release. Many have bows that fit them fine, but the release is way too long, effectively making their draw length too long as well. You don't want that hand behind your head!

Quantify "pretty darn accurate" for me. And how long can you shoot before your groups start to get bigger and you have trouble holding steady?

I will admit though there is really no such thing as perfect form. I have seen some people with very odd form shoot amazingly well. The biggest thing is if you can do it the exact same way every time. However drawing the bow too far makes it harder to hold steady, harder to hold at full draw and harder to actually draw.

You will find with a bow that fits it draws smoother for you than one that is too long. If you can't hold your bow out in front of you, look at your target and draw straight back smoothly on the target you are pulling to much weight and or too long of a draw length.
