Regardless of what methods any of us use we don't need to be bashing each other, because we get bashed enough from the Anti's. If there are guys out there shooting todays compounds with fingers, more power to them. But I went to a release because there so short now days there was way to much finger pinch! Call a compound what you want, but it's still a stick and string with an average ethical effective range of 30 yards.........nuff said
