Finger positions

[jbowersox]

I like to shoot my recurve a few times a week when I'm at the range. My plan is if I can take a buck with my compound I'll hunt for a doe with the recurve. Anyhow, I had been shooting with my index finger above the arrow and my middle and ring fingers below. I was watching the Primos Bowhunting videos and almost all of them shoot three fingers below the arrow so I decided to give it a shot. I was shocked at how much better I shot. I guess the reason to do that would be to raise the arrow closer to the line of sight. Whatever it's supposed to do it worked.

How do you all shoot?

Three fingers under.

At the moment I shoot split but only beacause I dont have a nock on my string

I shoot three under. Reason I did was finger pinch. With a proper length bow, I would have never moved to 3 under. Now, I couldn't imagine changing back. I highly suggest people start with split finger. It is quieter on most bows. And some bows, no matter what won't shoot well 3 under depending on the tiller. I have had a few recurves that no matter the nocking point, I should get the arrow from flipping. And most bows you buy used are tillered for split.

I shoot split. Always have. 3 under just doesn't feel right.

I shoot split. I tried the 3 under thing for a solid year and never really felt comfortable with it.

I also shoot split. Never felt very confortable shooting any other way.

To Jbowersox. I shoot split finger, instinctive. But I shoot even better with a Wilson Bros " Strap Tab". Guess Ill have to build something similar. Tox

Used to be split, because my nocks were loose and the arrows kept falling off, but i got new nocks on them and tried 3 under and was amazed at how well it went. Been 3 under for about 2 years now.
