Title: 3 under thanks
Post by: sinistral on February 05, 2010, 09:21:00 PM

Just wanted to pass on a big thanks to those who have suggested 3 under shooting. I tried it and I think I will stick with it. It is more comfortable and that arrow is right under the eye. Big help. Once again thanks. Jeff

Jeff,

I am glad that 3U is working for you buddy, don't think I could go back to split finger!

Three fingers under is also best for beginners as it helps keep the string from rolling as they draw and the arrow falling off the arrow rest.

3 under has kept me in trad and after teaching my family to shoot that way, they shoot better than me! I often play with split for the noise reduction, but it just doesn't work for me, glad it is working well for ya.

I started shooting trad in 1/07 and shot split finger. I liked it and shot pretty well but a few weeks ago I tried 3 under for the third or forth time and really liked it. Have been shooting even better since I changed. Glad I did and can not get the hang of split finger back if I try a cuople of shots.

I seem to shoot better with 3 under, but have been playing with split this week and enjoying the noise reduction.  Trying to be Howard Hill.  LOL  :)

I switched to 3under last year in an attempt to have a more solid/repeatable anchor/shot sequence.  Did it work? Yep.  Not nearly as much fun as splitfinger, canted any which way bow however so I switched back and reminded myself that I gave away my compound because it was too methodical... set your feet, point your shoulder, fingers on the string, deep breath, draw...  Now I just walk around with a quiver chock full of arrows and let her rip with a big smile on my face.  But that's just me.
