i am hardly an expert finger shooter as this is my first season to shoot fingers. but...i just went through the process you are currently attempting to do. (my bow is quite short for fingers, but i wasn't in a position to purchase a new one so i made due with a 34.5" ata and 75% let-off bow.) so, to answer your question, it definately can be done. (i posted this same kind of question in this forum some months ago and received some great responses.) arthur gave you some good advice. i first tried the two finger method, but just could not get comfortable shooting that way. so, even with a short ata i decided to shoot a three finger method. arthur describes exactly how i release. i pull "through the wall" so to speak as arthur describes. i have had zero problems with this and am shooting quite accurately.

it feels so good to give up the release...i feel free!
