Cajun, after reading your post, I decided that me and my arthritic fingers are going to start shooting 3-under. I' ve been shooting that way with wheelie bows for years, but always shot split with my sticks because of tournament rules. Some clubs have this anti 3-under rule for some obscure reason. Well, I figure I' ve got all the trophies and plaques I need gathering dust around the house, so to heck with ' em.
I' d been completely relaxing the index finger (the one that' s got it really bad) and basically shooting 2-under, but the middle finger started griping at me about carrying too much of the load. It was time to either do something else or hang up the sticks for good and go wheels. Not good!
Anyway, I' ve been working on it in the backyard this afternoon and it' s amazing how little pain I experienced that way. The whole draw, anchor and shot sequence feel stronger and more solid. Can' t wait to hit the range tomorrow and give it a real workout.
Thanks for the idea.
