Have experimented with 3u for a couple of months now and believe for target shooting it is more accurate but will stick with split for all other shooting.
The essence of the hunt for me is to enter nature and observe+ return safely occasionally with the gift of a life taken.

I can shoot either way, prefer split most of the time.

Split for me. I have messed around with three under lately, but I guess I'm an old dog that can't be taught new tricks. I do shoot three under as well or better in the back yard with a vertical bow and target form, but I can shoot better with split when it comes to manufacturing shots from odd angles and difficult positions. If I were to get serious about target archery I would probably go three under. But for hunting I will stick with 36 years of split.

Split for me since I started out. Since we are at it: I know a bow tillered for split finger will require a higher nocking point than usual for 3U, but does it change much to have a bow tillered even and shot split. Mostly referring to any issues with limb timing and noise. Just wondering so thanks for any reply! Pat

I've tried shooting 3 under, may even shoot decent at times with 3 under, but it just doesn't feel natural or comfortable for me.  I feel like I'm forcing it when I try to shoot 3 under.

Started with split, then tried 3 under, then went back to split.

Split for me, too old to change I guess.

Split now after shooting 3u for 30 years. Wasn't hard to switch. Easier tune for me.

I guess I am not smart enough to know that I have to chose...I actually do not shoot 3 under since I find that two under works better for me...I also shoot split finger, both 3 and 2 fingers...once again I am more consistent with 2

Split- 3U for a summer, and now back to split.
Feels better - I've also been experimenting with 2U Split. I really like the 2U, but if I am not conciously telling myself to use 2U, I will find my top finger making its way back to its familiar split location.
