Note how the NTS draw method requires a much higher torque, about the bow shoulder, to make it
through the draw. In the NTS method the torque at the bow shoulder increases to a maximum at the point when the draw hand is about even with the bow shoulder. From this peak point, the torque decreases as the archer comes to full draw and anchor. By comparison, the linear draw shows a constant increase to that same point.
The plots below show that, because the upper arm is in line with the bow shoulder line for both techniques, the compressive and adverse lateral forces are very similar.
