If you are interested in the late mediaeval/Tudor style, draw to the ear, sometimes the shaft hand dropped to the collarbone, a very brief hold, and no looking at the arrow. Either a high draw, as demonstrated by Ratty, or a low draw, the straightened bow arm brought up as the shaft hand pulls back, to draw less attention of game or enemy.. Grip on the string in both England and France was second joint of forefinger and first joint of ring finger,. Middle finger as it fits. With instinctive shooting there is a tendency to loose the arrow when it is pointed at the mark, so it is best to come to full draw before pointing the arrow at the mark. In practice not more than two or three arrows were shot at an end. Practice was to hit with the first arrow or at least the second, rather than accumulate points.
