I was actually just considering to that, I can admit as a traditional archery noob that I wasn't thinking about mass weight when I was considering one, more just convenience
But yea, I get what you mean.
I will probably hunt with it as well, once I get better, probably just squirrels though

Steadies even some of the more jumpy factory bow setups pretty well. Good tune on better bows.........sweet.
Never open handed, no sling either (recurve).
Hm, the grip you explain is pretty much what I had been doing and when I say pretty much I mean more it was what I was trying to do.
But my archery teacher says that when someone looks at you from a profile angle that he should not be able to see any fingers besides your pointer and thumb, the other way he explained it was that only two fingers should ever touch the bow.
I will talk to him about it.

Nobody of better ability I've seen (maybe regional but I used to get out a bit) shoots an open hand.
I've never seen that bow before, what sort of bow is it?
The only bow I've ever cracked appart was a longbow I made back when I was 10. AmIcoolYet?
