Thanks for the replys, have one other question. I printed out a recurve shooters manual from a link someone had up awhile back, in the manual it says to draw the string back with the string deep in the fingers, does this sound correct. I was practicing using just the tips of my fingers, but i feel more comfortable with it deeper in the fingers, but it doesnt look like its as clean of a release. I just started trying the finger release, so i could be that i just need to practice alot more. Thanks again
