Many years ago when I was learning to shoot a bow.. my then neighbor was teaching me since my dad did not do alot of bow hunting..well anyway he taught me to shoot instinctive and with fingers and a tab on a compound and thats how I did it for a few years and actually killed a few tree rats like that but never could get close enough to a deer lol I have thought about buying a second bow after season goes out and try that style of shooting again....just for fun who knows I might even get one of thoes bows that dont have all those extra cams and cables and such.. what were they acalled again lol j/k
