I coach longbow archers in our club, along with recurve and compounds, it's the same! Only the equipment is different. As is already said, you assess the individual and start from there. A guy in our club cants his bow, 3/4 draws, snatches his release and puts in good scores, he's been shooting (stylewise) badly for so long he's got quite good. He condemns the use of rubber bands and shoots "instinctively" That's up to him, but the archer that shoots like Ascham describes will shoot better IMHO
