If you evaluated the weight of the bow is it between your Thumb and index or more on the heal of your hand?

(is that more what your after VA?)

GmATT, what do you think about shooting with 3 fingers open? I try to have them open b/c that's what the guys at the shop say to do, but I don't feel as if I have a good handle that way. what is the proper grip??

I just hold all four fingers out and when i shoot, just as the arrow leaves i catch the bow. Seems to work great for me.

I used to shoot with my fingers open.....






But I was told my hand was MORE tense than when the fingertips rested lightly on the riser. Whoever told me that (thanks to the forum).....they were right.

I'm much more at ease, now.

This is all I have I believe.... It at least gives you a slightlydifferent angle than the other photos so far....
