On longer axle to axle bows with an average draw length, hooking to the string is fine.
.....that's why on my old 41" ATA bow, I use a Tru-Fire magnum wrist release, and just clip it on the bow string. Having an 8" brace height also helps tremendously with the overall accuracy. I could even finger shoot my old PSE if I wanted to, but I am happy and content with my rugged ol' workhorse of a bow.
