Fingers or Release?
 

I can't decide what to use! I'm very accurate with both, and I'm a bit more cozy with fingers,what do you think?

Use which ever one you are most comfortable with.

Bowboy,

Being as it is this close to the season, I'd go with what I was the most instinctive with. The adrenaline rush is enough to have to overcome when that deer comes into range, much less adjusting to equipment that you're not used to. I shot fingers for many years before going to a release. My reason for changing wass simple, sore fingers.LOL I shot all the time (every day) and my index finger kept a callouse on the inside and it hurt every time I shot the bow.

Most people shoot more accurate using a release aid, especially at longer yardages. Also, there is no pain no matter how much you shoot. If you do decide to go to the release aid, give yourself next year to get to where you use it instinctively before the season opens. You'll have better luck with it that way.

Just my opinion...

I prefer relese, but shoot with which ever one you shoot better with.

if you are comfortable and just as accurate with the fingers then shoot fingers. its one thing less to worry about.

Hey, size may not matter but it sure IS nice!

You asked for opinions so take mine for what it's worth.

A release is more consistent, gives a better arrow launch and allows you to hold at full draw longer. My archery instructor is an NFAA National barebow champion (no release, no sights). He nails 60 yard bullseyes with boring regularity. When he hunts, he uses a release and sights. Makes you think ... eh?

If you get a bad hit on a deer with fingers, you'll wish you used your release! Do everything in your power to prevent wounded game.

Ive shot both and I shoot more accurate with a release. So for me its a release. Deffinetly more accurate for me.
