Well maybe I'm a little different, but I'll set my draw 1/4" or so on the short side for my hunting bow vs my target bow which I consider to be about my best for draw.

Reason for this is like RA mentioned, a little "forgiveness" of the situation at hand. Heavy sleeved jackets have almost cost me a dandy buck. With a tad shorter draw on my hunting rig, it allows me to still keep my anchor that I'm used to and have been using throughout the year, but will give me a little more clearance on my forearm with thick clothing. Over my bulky cold weather coat I always wear (now) an arm guard to keep my forearm clothing material in check. I only need to make one shot that counts.

Also, a slightly shorter draw gives (me) a slightly better window of form for really awkward situations. Imagine if couldn't move your feet very much but you had to twist around to your right a LOT to make a shot (for a RH shooter). Like if you were standing there and your target was off in the direction of your right shoulder. With a draw length a tad on the short side, it still gives some room to apply back tension at full draw. If the draw was on the long side, there's nowhere tofully draw or "pull"- try it you'll see what I mean. No problem twisting to your left as you can bend your bow arm a little more.

I shoot on average around 1000 shots a month, a little lighter in the summer. I know what my best target form and draw should feel like because I'm doing it 95% of the time. The other 5% of the time I'm shooting my hunting bow to dial in broadheads or double check tuning. So my best hunting form with a slightly shorter draw may not exactly duplicate my best target form.... Just my ramblings.......
