shot trigger

When I tried it I was touching the broadhead on the riser.

I think for many modern handles where the forefinger is not almost touching the arrow, that would be the only way one could use this method.  The same caveat would apply, though, to be careful not to pull the nock off the string at full draw.  It would probably work better than broadhead touching forefinger if the shooter is wearing gloves which would make it difficult to feel the touch.

From your comment, I take it you're not still using this method.  What did you not like about it?

The first time I tried it I couldn't get the tune right. The arrows got way stiff. I went down in spine,and got some good flight,but gpi went way down. I tried it the other day with a particular bow and an aluminum arrow and had great flight and it felt good all the way around.

I'm headed on a hunt in February so I'm not going to fool with my set up now, but when I get back I'm going to start trying again.
