how long do you guys hold your anchor once at full draw? i figured this would be a good topic and how different everyone shoots

one to fifteen seconds. pretty much till the shot feels right. had to hold for about 30 seconds once on a hunt but that is not to common.

About 3 to 5 seconds .

I like to use a slow fluid motion to anchor so when I'm there I'm on target and hold for maybe   2 seconds, that works best for me.

I don't "hold" unless I have to in a hunting situation - shot angle, branch, deer staring at me, etc. In typical situations I release when I hit my draw anchor.

I hold until it feels right, which is usually 3 - 5 seconds.

.2 seconds, or something like that  

Always has been a mental battle for me  

As soon as I reach anchor. If I hold it tends to be like shooting pool for me. I start correcting myself and miss the shot. Your first instinct is usually the correct one.

i found out i was snap shooting with my new bow and wasent shooting good, i must have thought i was holding but i wasent, think cause its 4 pounds heavier?

3 seconds or there abouts. Just long enough to settle in works for me. I was a snap shooter for over thirty years. I am shooting better than I ever have. Who said old dogs can't learn new tricks.

I battle shooting too quickly also. I like to hold 1-2 seconds, and I shoot much more consistent.

Like J Cook, usually when I reach my anchor point.

One to 3 to 5 seconds.  When I'm shooting my best, it's usually around a second. Have held for 10-15 seconds on a few critters, but that's the exception.

A couple or 3 seconds; I have tried the 'shoot when you hit anchor' method, and I have a hard time hitting the ground with that. Waiting a couple of seconds gets me into my back muscles and I feel the 'push' of the bow hand much better than when I try to release as soon as I hit anchor.

i couldnt figure out why i was shooting my new bow hrrible for 3 days and it turns out i was snap shooting and not holding my anchor for 1 to 2 seconds, now im shooting good

3 seconds seems to be the sweet spot for me. Any shorter and I probably rushed aiming and didnt really get into my back. Any longer and I think I get too mental and lose the instinct. I have been practicing holding for 10 seconds just to condition my muscles a little more. I might have to hold that long with a deer in front of me so I want to be steady and mentally conditioned to it if need be

Draw, hit anchor and release.

It took me about 75x longer to type the first two words than to actually take the shot.

maybe 1-2 seconds   pretty much ready to go by the time I hit anchor..

at least 2 seconds- as per the Rick Welch style of shooting.
