release- how about fingers?
 

I shore none of us fine well prepared bowhunters have ever left your release in the truck/home or dropped it on the trail coming in..But if you did could you shoot with your fingers--Have you ever tried???

With release setup bows it is very difficult to shoot with fingers although yes, I am very practiced in doing this especially since I started out as fingers however, .....

I always have at least one extra release in my backpack....at least one. ;)

Hmm... good question. I will find out in about 10 min.

I shoot fingers...no need to worry about a release...Of course I have an extra tab in my bow vest and another stored on my tree stand's carry bag.

RE: release- how about fingers?
 

When I first started Bow Hunting I always shoot with my fingers,after talking with several other Bow Hunters I tried a Release and love it much better for the control and better accuracy.I have accidently left my release at home a few times and went on out hunting without it but I felt like I wouldn't be as accurate without the release and hoped I didn't have any deer walk up on me and would have to try shooting with bare fingers.

On a lighter note:
I have dropped my release while climbing high up a tree with my climbing stand or left it on the ground at the base of the tree and wondered how in the world I was going to get it back without scarying the deer off or having to climb back down after being worn out.....so I used my lanyard/rope and my small camo pouch that had velcro on part of it and fished from 20 feet in the air and hooked the other velcro part on the release then pulledit back up to me. :)
