Split, tried 3 under but felt my bow "jumped" at the shot and sounded louder to me.  I also shoot my board bow split, tillered it that way.

Split. Here split is an obligation in 3D and 2D sports shoots with trad- bows. Then, if you practice both (hunt and archery): split, split, split

I started with split but changed to 3 under half way through the year, I almost have a year in now in trad hunting, 3 under is more accurate for me.

i had never heard of 3 under until this site. i tried it and didn't like the feel. felt like the bow was tilted strange, so i'm sticking with split    :thumbsup:

3 under though I'll shoot split if its close/moving/ or if I have to cant the bow hard.  At 15 yards or less it doesn't seem to matter much but over that 3 under is more consistent for me.

Split for me.  Tried 3 under, but just didn't reel right, probably because I started out and learned with split.
