Fingers here also. I just like keeping it simple and natural. I am sure I am not as accurate as a release shooter but I think I do plenty well enough to bring down game out to about 40 yards.

I am a finger shooter . I shoot one of the last Bear whitetale II bows . It may be slow but I still kill deer at 35 yds.

I always shot with fingers until last year, when my practice time was cut down, and the bow I was using was giving me nightmares. I am in a different situation now and plan to try and shoot fingers again next year. I don't have enough time to fine tune it for this year. Good luck, and let me know if I can help you in any way.

Yup. Never have shot as well with a release as I do with fingers.
Ditto. I've tried releases but lacked confidence in them as things would happen unexpected, but with a glove or tab I am in more control. This is bowhunting only I am set up for, I don't care about entering any archery matches so my set up is strictly bowhunting. I been bowhunting since 69' and have aways used a glove/tab since my first Kodiak Hunter. Bobby

I have never used a release. I want to keep the amount of gear hanging on me to a minimum. I started with fingers and never saw a good reason to use one of those things. I use a finger glove. My bow is 50% let off. When I hit the letoff I drop the little finger off the string to get less twist on the string. Seems to work for me.
