How many fingers on your riser where the grip is on the bow when you grip it and at full draw?

Arne (moebow) has a number of great videos which pertain to form.

This one should fully answer your question...

Yes! Watch Arne's videos, all of them. I hope he does part 2 to the last video he did soon. Good stuff!

I find where and how your fingers pressure the grip will vary with the bow and grip.
Bows will have a different fulcrum point, and while I keep all my fingers on the grip with most bows, where I grip more tightly, and how tightly, varies.
I always do this when shooting a bow I haven't shot: let your bow arm hang fully relaxed, and let the bow find it's balance point on one finger of that bow arm. That's a starting point for me, and helps give me an idea of hand/finger pressure on the grip.
