Chef Mark! Last week I went to the range with a buddy and forgot my glove release ,Anyway's the shop loaned me a lil goose to use ,I had problem's getting used to it and it kept gradually getting lower on my wrist without me realizing it .I all of a sudden I was shooting terrible and even missed 2 target's in row ,my buddy noticed that I was reaching out for the trigger and I never realized it,after re-adjusting it I got back to business and was shooting just fine .So if the goose is too low on your wrist you might find yourself reaching out and that mean's your bending your wrist as well ,take a quick check and pay close attention to this and hopefully you can resolve this problem .It's easy to blame a new release but if it doesn't fit right then it's not the release it's a mechanical {Your} problem . It's an easy fix.

I still go with fingers. Have tried a release set-up on my buddies bow. He and I are same size, arm length and similar shooting style. I couldn't get by "jerking" the release. I'm sure with time and patience I could learn to be able to shoot great with a 75% let-off bow set at around 75#'s, with a release and all the bells and whistles....But my 1980 PSE Lazer set at 63#'s with a 35% let-off and shooting fingers is all I've ever used in the woods so far. My success is fine as long as I keep my shots reasonable for my ability. I guess I'm just spoiled!

Youre right 8mm,the lower letoff,longer axle length older bows are much better for finger shooting.i bought a matthews conquest in 2000 and tried it.ended up using my old jennings xlrs.had alot of trouble with the onecam and higher letoff of the matthews.i guess some people can shoot them well but not me.
