Muzzy,that is because you are getting your arm straighter and that is the correct form for target archery.It is the easiest to repeat from shot to shot but the big problem with it is you are creating less space for clothing clearance.When shooting this way,you must create space by rotating your hand over so you don't hit your arm.


So now the delimma is do you shoot a different draw for shooting 3-d and hunting.

For me,I will shoot my hunting bow the same draw as my 3-d rig untill it is just too cold and I have to put on heavy clothing and then I will shorten it.I will shoot ABOUT the same but my groups are SLIGHTLY bigger with the shorter draw.
