I would if I couldn't shoot my bow anymore. I've over done it and made my fingers sore, but I'm one of those that likes to shoot over 100 arrows a day if time allowed.
I know Burnie has the same problem and I asked him if he would use a release, he told me he'd just use his compound instead of using a release.
Hey at the end of the day, if you're enjoying it who cares what other think of it.
Good luck, I know that's a hard thing to overcome. I'm 65 and thank God, I can still shot a 65# bow, but I backed off to 55 just in case.
