Let's hear from the finger shooters!
As a finger shooter I'm always interested in fellow finger shooters' setups. Maybe we can learn something from each other. Post your finger shootin' rig here. My bow is a Bowtech Pro 40 with liberty cam. I use a TR Dropzone Freestyle rest which works well (surprised me). For my fingers I use a tab and my Beman arrow have Blazer vanes on them.

RE: Let's hear from the finger shooters!
My finger shooting setup is a 52 lb longbow. No sights, no rest, no quiver. Just a tab and heavy arrows with feathers on 'em. I'm not sure that's what you were hoping to get for an example, but it is what I use. When I switch to my compound, I also switch mindsets. I use a sight, rest, release, stabilizer - most of the normal "help me shoot better" items. Though I still use those heavy arrows with feathers on 'em.

I'm not really sure what you are asking, but I shoot fingers with my Longbows and Recurves. Weights vary from about 50#-65# at 29". Bow lengths vary from 60 inches to 66 inches. All shot off the shelf. Currently, I'm using a Bateman glove with inserts.

I shoot a bowtech constitution. I have a trap door rest modified to accept of cushion plunger(needed IMO). Use Viper sights, STS, and a homemade tab(identical to a cavalier tab) shooting 2 under.
For HuntingI shoot Beman ICS 340's with 100 grain points at 60lbs.
For targets I shoot 56lbs with easton lightspeed 500's with 65grain points.

RE: Let's hear from the finger shooters!
My finger shootin' compound is an olderHoyt ProTec, Accuwheels and LXPro limbs. 47" axle to axle, 65% letoff, 60# draw weight, 33" draw length. Shoots full length Carbon Express Terminator Select 6075 w/125 gn points and4" feathersfor 3D, target, hunting... everything. Cavalier SuperFlyte Micro flipper rest.Barebow, 3-under with a tab.
With my bum shoulders, I've had to retire my beloved longbow and recurves and the compound only gets very limited action any more. Lately, I've been mostly shooting a midieval style crossbow that I made.
