I like my release now, but you'll never leave your fingers in the truck or drop them from your tree stand
hopefully

I always shot fingers but when the bows started to get shorter and faster I had to switch.

Man I'd hate to have to consistently shoot my 70# PSE with fingers.

I shoot a 73lb recurve with fingers. To be honest I hate the word release and trigger. To me It sounds way to much like your shooting a gun. I voted against them when they were voted on.

And fingers rarely suffer mechanical problems.I do know of several people that have had unintentional releases with a mechanical release.One friend has a hole in his basement ceiling from an accidental release.If his wife had found out about it,things could have gotten very ugly.

I myself prefer fingers since they are usually quieter and offer more positive arrow control while drawing the bow.I have never had an arrow fall off the rest while drawing,but friends have while using a release.

I shoot fingers. Everybody kept saying, "man you oughta get you a release." So I broke down and bought one a couple years ago. After it accidentally went off while I was at half draw and busted my nose, I put it away and blissfully went back to my fingers.
