Finger releases
As noted in another post, Im fixing to get into recurve hunting due to a special hunt opportunity.
I see in catalogs there are three basic non-mechanical release options: tabs, 3-fingered glove, full glove.
What is your preference and why? Have you tried other styles or just the one you like? What would you recommend for a beginner?
Thanks!

RE: Finger releases
I like to use my three finger glove.I shoot accurate with it.After it is broke in there becomes a bowstring groove,so after I come to full draw I let the bowstring roll to the tips of my fingers and it is dead on every time.Also for hunting it is more usable.

RE: Finger releases
I shoot better with a tab and usually hunt with one. I also take a barefinger shot everyonce in awhile.You wouldn't wantto more than once ortwice in a short period of time, but if I loose or forgetmy tab or glove (done that plenty of times!) I know I can shoot bare fingered with confidence.

RE: Finger releases
I normally shoot a 3 finger glove type ....... but lately I've been wearing my raquetteball glove.
Why ?
Feel. With the much thinner material, I can feel the string much better, and theres enough protection to keep from getting really sore fingers.
I don't like tabs, and don't like the little half finger things. Everyone has their own personal favorites though. I would think bare fingers would be the best if you could handle it @!
