Nope. It'd be method #6. Swing draw. Begin drawing as you begin bringing the bow up. The bow should be on target an instant before you hit anchor. Finish the draw, anchor and release.

I certainly do not recommend it. Gave me an incurable case of snap shooting.[&:]
Oh I remember this. I actually freakin hurt my shoulder doing this more than anything. Anytime I swing up, my bow shoulder aches.
i do this quite a bit(swing draw)....it works for me....ipretty much shoot the same accuracy reguardless of draw/setupstyle....

my main thing is to make sure that my feet and shoulders are in line with the target(like a golfer) ....sometimes i prefer my stance "Closed" as oposed to "square" i almost never use an open stance.

if im not hitting my spots then ill slow down and shoot like in #1 (basically i hold the bow on target while i draw.)but i dont like to do it practicing...

hunting from a tree stand this is my style(#1) because as soon as i spot the deer i stand up and keep the bow pointed at the animal until i get my chance to draw and shoot....i wouldnt dare use a "swing draw" while hunting deer. Rabbits yes....deer no.

to me stance/shoulder angleis the most important....if i ignore it, i shoot poor.
