I am still very skeptical about "Perfect" or "Proper" draw length??

In my opinion, shoot what feels the most comfortable too you? I would think in my mind that if you shoot comfortable you will shoot better? I know the pros will jump down my throat for saying this, but it is just my OPINION!

If you can shoot comfortablyand learn a distinct anchorI would say that is proper form.It can be something as small as where your thumb knuckle is everytime, or where your pointer finger touches your face??? Atleast for me anyhow??

That is what pros do BUT they work within a certain set of parameters.




Ok so I am on the right path then?
Yes.


We must also remember that pros practice ALOT and anything that is practiced alot can become comfortable and repeatable TO A POINT.

The problem is that most of us are not pros and don't have that kind of time to dedicate to it.There are parameters that the pro and average guy alike can use to be their best.


Standing up straight and getting proper bone to bone contact are just a couple.You won't find many pros if any leaning back when shooting on level groud(unless we are talking long distance shooting of 90 meters or the like)AND they are usuallydistance specific with their setup.

Having great anchor points of reference is another but not all use the same ones.

Draw lengths will vary from shooter to shooter,even if they were to have the exact same body measurements.
