Default A Gripping Survey

I'm curious what style grip most of you use. Please indicate whether you shoot with a split finger (Mediterranean) grip or three fingers under. Also please indicate whether you shoot a recurve or longbow. In my case, it's split fingers with a longbow.

Jack&gt; You've seen me shoot. I may be a little unorthodox, but using both hands on the grip adds to stability and pulling the bow with the primary and second toe isn't that hard to learn. I DID get disqualified once for using the big toenail as a release.<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

John, as long as the toenail was touching the nock you should have been legal.

John, that's tourney-legal w/a longbow as long as (like Floxter said: one toenail touches the arrow nock &) you're not shooting 3-toes under, right? <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

me: split finger & middle finger anchor at corner of my mouth, recurves/longbows
