THE IDEA BEHIND THE STRAIGHT DRAW IS TO GET THE EYE; ARROW FROM TIP TO NOCK, TARGET, AND JAW WHERE IT ANCHORS  IN LINE- BEFORE THE DRAW. BEFORE THE DRAW IS THE POINT. BEING RIGHT HANDED WHEN WE PUT THE BOW UP THE ARROW GOES ON AN ANGLE FROM RIGHT TO LEFT. THE TIP IS TO THE LEFT OF THE TARGET. THE FIRST STEP TO GETTING THE ARROW ALIGNED IS TO ROLL THE WRIST TO THE RIGHT AND WE SEE THE ARROW TIP ROLL DIRECTLY ONTO THE TARGET. WITH THE STRAIGHT DRAW IT IS ESSENTIAL WE ROLL THE ARROW ONTO THE TARGET WITH THE WRIST. THIS SETS THE CANT. WHEN IT LINES UP WE DRAW THE BOW ABOUT HALF WAY AND THE ARROW SHOULD ALIGN STRAIGHT TO THE TARGET IN IT'S ENTIRETY FROM TIP TO NOCK UNDER THIS TENSION. NOW WE LINE UP OUR HEAD SO WE CAN TELL THE FINGER WILL COME STRAIGHT BACK TO OUR ANCHOR. WHEN EYE, TARGET, ARROW, AND JAW ARE IN LINE PULL STRAIGHT BACK TO ANCHOR. REMEMBER LEAVE THE BOW ARM ELBOW SLIGHTLY BENT, AND THE STRING ARM  COMPLETELY RELAXED.
