fingers v. release
Anyone here still shoot fingers?I grew up shooting fingers and love it, but everyone else I know shoots release. I have tried and don't feel comfortable. Just curious why you use them or don't.
thanks

I used to shoot fingers. I quit shooting for a while, and when I picked it back up again I tried a release. It is much more consistent. Also, many bows on the market today were designedfor usewith a mechanical release.

RE: fingers v. release
that is how i feel. I never shoot over 20 yards and I can consistantly group at 25 in practice, but I plan on buying a new bow next year and I am aware that they are designed for releases and I am not to happy about that.

I'm a finger shooter. Most of my buddies shoot releases too, but they haven't convinced me to switch yet. They may be a little more accurate, but I promise you I can be ready to shoot quicker than they can. Where I hunt you don't have all day to look them over! Most of my kills have happened pretty fast.

i dont see what makes a bow either way when you buy one tell the man how you shoot and have it set up that way

i use to shoot fingers all the time, took me quite awhile to make the change , but i finally did. theres nothing wrong with shooting either way, just do what is more comfortable to you
