I mean, this depends heavily on the type of bow used (which is also largely the source of confusion) it's common for archers who aren't medieval war longbow archers to draw then aim because it's a lot easier to do. And lower draw weight bows certainly did see use in war until plate armor became common enough to make them nearly useless in warfare.
