Default RE: switching from mech to fingers?...

I've shot with a release for over 25 years now but I occasionally "play" with shooting my bow with two fingers under. I can even shoot with a drop away rest quite accurately,,, probably more if I'd practice this way more often. When my bow is set up with a loop, I need to use my 50 yard pin for a 20 yard distant target. If my hunting bow is set up to shoot directly off the string with a caliper release,, using an eliminator button between the arrow's nock and the release, I can use my 30 yard pin for shooting 20 yards. With my bow set for an 80 percent let off, I can draw with two fingers and once at anchor, I can drop my middle finger off and hold and release with my index finger. If you have a bow with 80 percent let off and a very short valley, try shooting with your index finger by settling the pin on target and then slowly creep foward. The cam will break over into the start of the peak draw weight and will over power your index finger's hold and cause a suprise release. Fun to play with!!!!! I don't have any trouble with right left misses while shooting with two fingers under and a drop away rest.
