I draw and just move to where I need to be, it comes to mind that I probably go up more than go down. I've never thought about it the way Bob H in NH wrote about though, but it makes total sense to me and I'll give it a whirl next time.

I come down. It is a matter of timing and not trying to hold at one point. That seems to casue a little 'waggling' around.

The above would best describe me. I would think raising or lowering would lead to trigger punching?? But whatever works for each individual is cool.

I do the same thing. Since I shoot back tension all the time. I just set into it and relax and let the release do it's job. I visualize the arrow hitting the mark while I wait, and that's all I think about!

IMO THIS WILL CAUSE TRIGGER PUNCHING.SETTLE HOLD AND SQUEZZE.

I start at 12:00 above my aiming point,and then come down in to it.Archery coaches would tell you it is easier to get in to your back muscles that way.I am far steadier coming from slightly above than from below.Like most of you it is such a matter of habit now that I don't even think about it.

I don't think anyone is advocating "drive by shooting" where as you drop down you punch the trigger as the pin drops. We are talking about settling the pin, coming down, into the target spot. When you get there you settle and start the shot process/squeeze.
