I do something different. I just don't see the need for a draw board. I can see a full draw tool on the apple press handy. But I have a hook in my garage, and I pull the bow to full length and watch what is happening. That way, I can be sure I don't overdraw, and its only a hook. I also put a hook in the floor with the plans of putting a ratchet strap on it to hold the bow at full draw, but I just don't trust that.
If I need to use my spot hogg laser to check cam lean, I get someone to hold it for me.
I find it easier with a drawboard but thats just me. I tried the "hook and pull" method but didn't like it. I guess another good thing about a draw board is measuring nock travel. I'm uninformed on nock travel so I really can't explain that one any further.
