Shooting an Algonquin (Sudbury) Bow with the Tertiary Draw

The shallow or bulbous nocks of many Algonquin arrows seems to suggest that like most native americans, the original user of the Sudbury bow was shooting with the so-called "secondary" or "tertiary" release. In other words, a hybrid of the pinch draw and a three fingers under draw. This was my experience shooting an ash Sudbury bow with the authentic technique.
