Maybe you should learn all the benefits of shooting fingers before trying to talk someone out of making a sensible decision.

There is no more 'crap' to go through shooting fingers than there is with shooting a release. Different crap for sure, but exactly the same amount of it.

You lose a few fps shooting fingers, but your bow shoots quieter. A lot of the time, the only thing that can be heard is the metallic CLICK the release makes when the bow is shot. Even as bad as my fingers are, they don't make a metallic click.

You tune to accomodate the paradox just like you tune to get that 'bullethole' with a release.

You don't have to fumble around with a release when a sudden shot opportunity is presented.

A pocketfull of finger tabs is a LOT cheaper than a pocketfull of releases.

Take the money saved and invest in higher quality arrows!

You don't even have to have a finger tab or glove to take one quick hunting shot.

Fingers don't sieze up and quit working just because they've got mud, dust or debris on 'em.

What happens to your shot opportunity when your release fails and forces you to try and dig out your backup? Having 5 backup releases doesn't mean you're going to get a shot, just means you're prepared to put up with at least 5 failures and 5 missed opportunities in one day.

There are many good reasons to avoid shooting a release.

I can't think of more than two reasons to shoot a release. Having a bow too short to comfortably shoot fingers. Not having the physical aptitude to learn how to shoot fingers.

You want to talk about putting up with crap! Ask a traditional shooter what he thinks about all that crap you've got hanging on your compound. LOL![8D]
