That is an unfortunate way of putting it. As has been said, holding for too long can be detrimental. However, this is often taken to mean that any holding is bad, with the result that a large number of longbow archers effectively snap shoot. Two seconds is longer than you think. As above, a) hold long enough to have a settled aim and b) hold the same each time. 2 seconds should be long enough
