Welcome to the boards Excaliber24!!

I think a lot of the people here would be surprised how accurate they could be if they switched to fingers. It does take more practice. And today's 33" ata bows and whisker biscuit companies would go broke quick.

Yes, I would still bowhunt as well. The only change I can think of would be to a longer axle to axle length bow.

Of course, I shot fingers a lot longer than I have a release.

I think I'd probably try shooting traditional.

I shot fingers for a long time with an old bear compound. Guess it wouldn't be that big of a deal to me.

The telltale tanline around your wrist and the absence of callouses on your fingers.
