Shooting with two fingers
« on: February 22, 2016, 12:31:00 PM »
Does anyone shoot with only two fingers?  If so, do you shoot split or two under?

Thanks,,,,,

Two under works best for me.

Both and either works well

I shoot 2 under, but with my middle and ring finger.  I start off with the string gripped just like I would while shooting split, but upon draw my index finger just rides along.  It doesn't touch the string at full draw.

I do the same thing as Daniel above. If my top finger adds anything at all, it's generally not a good shot. With real heavy draw weight bows, it assists in the drawing cycle, but that's it

I shoot 3 under but only have about 10% string pressure on my ring finger, so basically I'm shooting 2 under.
