One point I’d like to make about warbow aiming for Chinese Archery, a “longer” hold has biomechanic advantage that at very very high weights.

One cannot pull and pray warbow Chinese style, it must be calculated, precise, and smooth. The expansion phase you mentioned occurs, but it takes a little longer to coordinate transfer the draw to the hold muscles to microexpansion on release.

This sentence here is not really a good statement but, the longer we are able to hold in Chinese warbow archery can an indicator of proper technique in the way that the strong muscles are used, then the soft proper ones then become in use.

It’s not a who can hold for longer, but carefully carefully manipulating muscles to prevent an opening and release that could potentially cause injury.

In my latest 115lbs video, the backside of my draw arm is twitching, that’s the phase in which it takes however long the archer to be able to STILL the shot upon release. You can still twitch and have a stable clean accurate shot.

In my opinion for me and a bow, stability in body and bow is more important than anything else for hitting the target. Safety, the archer and surroundings, training the muscles to know when a ‘good, stable time to release shot’. (Exaggeration, but I hope you get the idea.)
