Title: Moebow...I need your help please
Post by: Tradcat on August 14, 2012, 08:40:00 PM
Hey Moebow...got a question to ask you. I am a hunter first and foremost. I like your rotational draw technique to employ back tension easier. BUT I cant decide to shoot split or 3 under. I shoot better 3 under but hate the extra noise that it creates...the problem is I can shoot 3 under with the bow vertical to a slight cant with no problem but when I have to use a lot of cant,pardon the pun but, I can't ! Do you have any advice or suggestions ? Thanks

Have you tried shooting 2 under?

Tradcat,

The way I see it, is that split or 3 under is an option closely related your your aiming method more so than a form "thing."  It shouldn't really be a problem relating to how much cant you decide to use for a given shot.  

You don't mention what it is that is troubling you, but 3 under does require that the arrow snaps on the string and many using this system use two nocking points -- one above and one below. If the arrow stays on the string, 3 under should not in any way impede a positive cant.  It could get problematic with a reverse cant.

I personally don't feel the same amount of control 3 under, so I don't shoot that way much.  As far as the noisier bow is concerned that seems to be a common report and one that I find too.  Gringol suggests a technique to try, you may just have to "play around" with it to find out what works.  Some bows can be quieted and some cannot.

This is a personal opinion only, but I don't see that 3 under or split is anything other than accommodating an aiming preference.  Neither one is inherently more accurate than the other.  Again, my preference is split but only because I feel more in control than with 3 under.
