Default Traditional Question?

I have never owned a traditional bow, I have only owned compounds and hunted with compounds. I am going to get started in traditional...but I have a stupid question...Do you release with fingers only or can you use a release on a traditional bow.
Thanks

You can use whatever you want, its all up to you. Most people shooting Traditional do it the old way and shoot fingers. I shoot fingers with my recurve, 3 fingers under to be exact.

Use whatever you want and don't feel bad about the decision you make. I use a flipper rest on a few of my recurves and catch flack for it. But when the arrows are flying better with the rest then off the shelve, it sure makes me feels better.

But to answer your question, there are those that use a mechanical. And it will give you a cleaner more consistant release. Just note that if you plan to shoot tournaments, there maybe restrictions.

Make that 'there WILL be restrictions.' You might can get away with usinga releaseat small club shoots with progressive attitudes,but never at a sanctioned event - although the traditional rules at most clubs in my neck of the woods are evenmore conservative than the national organizations'.

But really, the whole point of traditional is doing away with the gadgets. I encourage you to give shooting with your fingers a good, honest try. Youwill find it's not nearly as tough as the compound technocrats would have you believe.

Ive seen only one person in over 30 years use a release. He did so because he had lost his index and middle finger. Not to say they cant be used, ive just never seen it, with that one exception.
