Just kidding. But what if they did ban the use of mechanical release aids? Would you still bowhunt?

Other than your arrow rest, what equipment changes do you feel you'd have to make in order to shoot fingers?

Yes I would still bowhunt. I would probably go into using a stickbow.

I don't use a mechanical release now! I would hope, if it ever did come to that, that the powers that be would leave releases in the mix for the disabled.

Probably would just give me that push to shoot traditional.

I would have to go back to a longer ATA. Something atleast 40". Used to shoot fingers all the time, would be a big deal to me.

I'd still shoot, though I'd have to back the poundage off on my RazorTec. I don't think my fingers could hold up to as many shots as I put through my release!!

No problem! I would still bowhunt absolutely! I rather enjoy using fingers but like my release also in my shorter ATA bows. Eventually I hope to go traditional all the time soon. However, I sure like "todays" bows better!!
