Default RE: From Fingers to a Release!

BuckAlley, I' ve got the Bear Paw glove with that dual release mechanism head. I shoot much better with it in the relaxation mode than in the triggering mode and it' s much quieter shooting than the other way. I guess it' s just more natural for an old fingers shooter. My only problem with it is I can' t get used to having the thing sitting in my palm all the time.

To use the relaxation mode, you stick the string or loop between the jaws, squeeze the trigger in, then pull the trigger to close the jaws. Draw, anchor and aim, then just quit pulling the trigger when you' re ready to shoot. You still pull thru the shot with back tension, but I prefer to explain it as pushing your elbow back instead of squeezing your shoulder blades together.

As for an anchor, when I shoot release (which hasn' t been too often here lately), I turn my string hand palm out and anchor the big knuckle at the base of my index finger right behind the curve of my jaw, touching my ear lobe.
