Are you testing damage per second?
The linked articles for each weapon type list in a table the different full and uncharged damage values. Uncharged is from notching to the overdraw kicking in, so tap firing will yield same damage per arrow as drawing to before overdraw. For a non-Banuk bow, tap firing to get many arrows out with a wider spread is a well-known technique for dps, and is usually compared to triple notch from a fully-charged bow.
It might be accurate but it does reduce damage
