I don't rightly know. I've never timed it. I've held TOO long and have had to let down.[X(] There are a couple tricks you can do to extend the time at draw if need be.... and it'll steady the shakes a bit. One is to just lower the bow and rest the cam on your leg if you can move that much without being spotted. The other is easier and works better to me. When you're at full draw and think you can't take much more... just do this. While still at full draw push your string hand elbow down against your side. Just press it to your rib cage and push in. You'll end up with your forearm and bicept pushed together. Your hand will still be in contact with your cheek. It sounds odd... but it does work. When you get ready, just raise the elbow back up to the full drawn position and shoot. Just try it, you'll instantly see a lessening of full draw forces on the body. I'd post a picture but my digital broke and I had to send it in to Olympus for repair. Glad I got it with a 5 year warranty.
