3 below for me.......I just started that way with no real plan about it other than the sight picture fit my eye better. I have heard guys like Rick Welch and Rod Jenkins say that they feel 3 under is the superior string hold for accuracy? Me I don't know and better, but it sure does allow me to get on target faster, and "see' the trajectory better. I'm a mess trying to shoot split finger.

I started on a bow two short, that caused finger pinch. So I moved to 3under. I couldn't go now to split if I wanted to. I wish, I started out with a 64-66" longbow and split. Split is quieter, and generally most used bows sold are tillered for split. But hey, I am doing ok. I tried split the other day and hit so high it was unreal.

I shoot split with a pretty short bow. 56" Recurve. It does pinch a bit but I've gotten used to it.

I've never even tried split.

3 under.

I've experimented with both and decided I'm most consistant with 3 under w/ my 60" longbow and 60" recurve.

Split here--never even considered putting three fingers under the nock when I was getting started (self-taught).

I'm a gap shooter and shooting 3 under makes that a lot easier at typical hunting ranges..

Primarily shoot 3 under.
