My small fingers aren't strong enough to shoot with 2 fingers.

I'm a glove user and have always shot 3 under. However, the ring finger is just there...does nothing. There is no wear on the glove with the ring finger. Because of that I've tried 2 under but didn't feel right. So I'm a 3 under 2 under guy 8)

I do this as well...anything else feels strange to me. It also reduces finger pinch from short bows if you have a long draw.

That's the man Jim. Same guy I learned from and really like the release I get. He goes by the name "Dan".  Super guy, great man, superb bowyer (along with Jared (his son)) and excellent shooting instructor.   :archer2:

Yep Dan was the one who first showed me the basics of shooting. I wish I could make it up there more regularly for shooting lessons. He makes a pretty mean bow as well!
