Spring has finally come to the UP of MI, so now I can shoot without 3 layers of clothes on. This is my question. I usulay hold the string with the tips of my fingures, this works good for the first few shots but my lowest fingure soon gives out. i have tried holding the string in the last joint of my fingers. This worked ok but I only had time for a few shots (so many fish so little time), so I didnt realy get a feel for it. I was just wondering what you guys preferred. This is another ? have any of ya seen this guy on OLN, Tred Barta. I like him, I dont think I would be buds with him but he is fun to watch, what do you guy think.
