3 under with 52" bows?
« on: November 29, 2010, 08:07:00 PM »
I've been shooting 3-under with my 62" Pearson and really prefer it over split.

This week I'm picking up a Browning Nomad Stalker and/or a K-Mag, both are 52" and both are 45#.

Anyone shooting 3-under with the Browning or the K-Mag?  Having issues with pinch?  Please share your experiences.

Thanks, Andrew

I'm shooting a K-Mag split finger.  I tried three under and it did not work for me.  Your correct about the finger pinch.  You still get some with split- finger with a 52in bow.

Take a look at the 2-finger under post.  May work for you.

Yea, I found the 2-under thread very interesting.  Especially useful with short bows, you would think.  Will definitely try it out, though I love 3-under.

My Black Widow tab has a little flap of leather that hangs down and when pulling it protects the side of my ring finger which is all I need for my 54".

The only thing "pinch" does for me is make my release more sloppy and less consistant.(bigger groups and more flyers) A smooth, clean release is why I went to 3 under to start with so I stay away from bows under 58" myself....but your milage may vary.
Bowhunting is "KILL and EAT" not "Catch and Release".....Semper Fi!
