Naw, Chief. I' d let him keep the wheels.

Until the early 90' s, the vast majority of all archers shot fingers. A bunch of us didn' t even use sights. It' s not nearly as hard to do as a lot of people have been brainwashed into believing. You can get very good at it.

My bow is the Hoyt ProTec, LXPro limbs and Accuwheels. I would also like the Reflex Caribou and the Scepter and Cougar Elite, both from Martin. I like wheels or mild cams for fingers, but I' ve been very impressed by Hoyt' s Cam 1/2 system. I think it would work very well for a fingers bow. The lower the letoff, the easier it is to shoot with fingers. 50% is excellent but not very available these days. 65% is about as high as you should go. Much more than that, it' s too easy to torque the string and get bad arrow flight and rotten accuracy.

By the way, last 30 target 3D shoot I competed in that scored 10-8-5, I shot a 260 from the orange stakes, fingers/barebow. I' m good at it, but there are some guys that are absolutely unblelievable.
