yeesh.... haven't we covered this already? i realize i asked in my original post if making the switch was a bad idea. losing accuracy wasn't really what i was looking for. i was searching more for opinions like what bigpapascout and arthur suggested. thanks for your opinion, though. maybe i should have been more clear and asked "other than losing a minimal amount of accuracy, is switching a bad idea?" i apologize for that. my fault. so, i really don't think there is an accuracy issue when we're talking about hunting yardages...the guys i know that shoot fingers are very, very good out to 40 yds. (beyond that, i can't tell you because i've never seen them shoot past 40yds.) plus, with the style of hunting i do and type of area i hunt (i.e. swamp) a release isn't as advantageous as one might think, at least in my experience. that's why i'm wanting to change. do you think if i thought it was a "step down" i would be willing to do it? of course not. i have seen the mech release side with the way i hunt and the areas i hunt. switching to fingers will only help me, i'm sure of it (as long as i can be accurate .) besides, arthur made a good point i hadn't thought of at all...shooting fingers i won't have to worry about buying/maintaining releases every so often, which equates to more money in my pocket to spend on other things (hunting gear of course .)

okay, moving on...(i hope i'm not making this thread seem really boring/monotonous/etc., but man, shooting with your fingers is definately a whole new world to me. also, my wife says i have a tendency to obsess over things. )

a peep. yeah, that's one piece of gear i'm not ready to give up. ...i've been using a rubber-tubed peep for the last few years. i've never really liked it. why haven't i gone to a tubeless peep you ask? good question. i always ask myself that when i hear that stupid tube go "slap" with every shot. anyway, seeing how my set-up will be changing with the switch, i thought now is the time to change. what do you recommend? i've thought about the tru peep so i won't have to worry about seeing strands through my peep as what might happen with the peeps that seperate the strands into 3 bundles. but, it occured to me now that i'll be using fingers, i might have to worry about the tru peep always aligning correctly. will the string "twist" in my fingers the same each time i draw? i don't know that the peeps that seperate the strands into 3 bundles are bad. heck, they may not bother me at all, i just thought that if i could eliminate that i would. any suggestions on a peep are MUCH appreciated!
