split finger help

[GCook]

I shoot split/glove.  I have a ring finger issue from an injury that is now arthritic and can limit it's ability to take pressure so both of the other fingers do most of the work.  A lot of good information presented here already and I've gleaned some for my own use.  Thanks for the thread.

I shoot split and do this and have read it before on how to grip the string. I start out by having my fingers pointed in a slightly downward attitude when putting them on the string. My finger pressure winds up most on my middle finger, a  little less pressure on the index finger and very little pressure on the ring finger. That gives me a good anchor position and release. If I try to put all three in a straight line, bad things can happen.

Its amazing what you can learn on the Shooters Form Forum.

I put a lot of pressure on the nock at times because I reverse cant when the shot calls for it and I don't have a problem with rhe string swinging off ever.

Its all in the way you grip the string....

Yep...great info on the shooters forum...

Copying this thread there...

in John Schulz's video he talks about squeezing the arrow away from the bow.  He shows how to start with the fingers pointing back towards one's self at the beginning of the draw and how that will push the arrow into the bow, then goes into the "now watch this next shot".  I killed a doe laying on my back once, up hill to my left, I was just resting, soaking up some warming sun.  That was the closest deer that I ever killed, a few feet.  I use to practice the back shot on a flat reclining lawn chair/cot, and have the neighbor kid retrieve my arrows.  It was a very low lawn chair and difficult for a cripple like me to get in and out of.  Now it keeps fire wood off of the ground.
