You can even forget the glove and still go hunting, especially with a compound. You're not going to shoot enough arrows in a day of hunting to wear out your fingers, even with a 60 pound stickbow (unless you're hunting rabbits during a population explosion!). But releasing from a holding weight of 20 pounds or less with a compound? Piece of cake. I know some guys who prefer to shoot bare fingers because they've got so much better feel and control of the string. But that's beside the point.

To add to what snowman said... The deep hook he mentions is having the string in the creases below your fingertips. Also, I have to reinforce his comments about relaxing the hand. It is very important. The main thing to remember about shooting fingers is the release is a non event. You do not 'release' the string. In fact,you do not do anything at all! Think about it. You're already doing something, holding the string back. To release, you simply allow your fingertips to relax and let the bow take the string away from you.

I've heard several people say they shoot fingers with whisker bisquits and do okay. I'm not going to dispute them, because I've never tried it and I've never actually seen anybody doing it. On the other hand, I've also heard several people say they shoot well with fingers using launcher rests. I've actually gotten to shoot with a couple of guys like that and, I tell you for certain, they've not impressed me with their skill at all. I've outshot all of them on the target course... and that's even with me shooting barebow and them using sights. Get a good flipper rest/cushion plunger combo from Golden Key Futura or Cavalier.

As for tuning, I hate paper tuning in the worst way, but that goes doubly when tuning a bow for shooting fingers. Don't waste your time with it. Bareshafting is a far better choice for a fingers shooter, IMO. I hope you've downloaded the tuning guide at eastonarchery.com because the bareshaft part of it is all you need to know.

It might sound complicated, but it's really not. After all, people have been shooting bows with their fingers since the early Stone Age, at least. It's just something that takes a bit of time and patience to develop the feel for. You might even be one of those who can shoot better with fingers than they can with a release. You'll never know until you give it an honest try.
