My opinion is that if you can put your thumb behind your neck either your draw or release is too long. Besides it is not a natural position for your hand and it means your release hand is not relaxed. However, I shot this way with a bow that was about an inch too long for two years and shot it pretty well. As long as you do everything consistantly your arrows will go where you want them to.

I would think that putting your thumb behind your neck would cause some inconsistency. Because sometimes it's warm and you've got nothing on your neck, but when it's 5 degrees you have a headcover on. I don't know- maybe it works for some guys (everybody's different), but I don't think I could do it.
