That sounds like a neat idea, But if your bow is set up and tuned to shoot with a release chances are it won't shoot too well with fingers. And a broad head would even make it worse. I wear my release to my stand that way I am ready on the way. It also keeps me from forgetting it.

To answere your question jjoel, no you don't need a release to use a bow, but in my opinion they make shooting more accurately easier. If I could not use a release I would most likely not use my bow any more. I just like triggers.
