As I have mentioned in the last several weeks, I have very limited experience with traditional archery. The closest thing to traditional I really have any experience with is using a finger tab instead of a mechanical release when I first started using a compound about 13yrs ago. Even then I was using a peep sight and sight pins. I have been using a mech. release for about 10 or 11 years.

Now that the recurve is on the way (should be here this week), the arrows are refletched with feathers, a fingertab from years back has been recovered and I am in the process of ordering Byron Ferguson's book and G. Fred Asbell's video on instinctive shooting. I was wondering if some of you might enlighten me on your thoughts on instinctive shooting. Do you shoot 3 fingers under the arrow or 1 above and 2 below? Is there anything that really helped you to improve, other than practice, practice, practice, which I can't wait to start doing. I used to shoot with one above and two below, but wondered if this would affect instinctive shooting.

Any information would be appreciated. I haven't been able to talk traditional archery with more than a handfull of people since I got on this kick, and even those few individuals have raised an eyebrow or two when I told them I had a recurve on the way. Therefore I have been combing the net for any info I could devour on traditional archery. I also consumed an entire Traditional Archery magazine I bought last week, all in one night. The wife listens to every word of my ramblings but doesnt't really care one way or the other. So, you will all have to live with my continual ramblings and like it. LOL
Thanks
