RE: How I lost my 4x4
That brings up an interesting point that maybe more of us release shooters should practice with fingers for just such emergencies. Obviously you don't want to take the shot with bare fingers if you haven't practiced it.. but it could have put meat in the freezer.
I know Chuck Adams shoots fingers and this is probably one of those occasions when he'd say I told you so.
I'll be over in the Belts in 10 days... woohoo!
