Well they are all very good answers, The time to draw on an animal is never an easy thing to figure out, you draw to early, you end up holding at full draw to long and you get unsteady, ending up with a poor shot. You draw to late, and and you get busted, I think the best answer to this never ending question is, you will just know when to draw when you know! If that makes sense? But then again if hunting made sense it would be easy! Just my two cents!
