3 under increasing arrow speed?

[unregistered]

I just recently started to shoot the 3 finger under method and found my arrows were flying much faster (I shoot 692 grain arrows out of a forty five pound longbow so the speed difference was quite noticable). The reason it seems is that while using the same anchor point as split finger(middle finger in corner of mouth) shooting 3 under increases my draw length a full inch. My bow also seems quieter and my effective range has increased to eighteen meters. I did not change the nock, it still sits five eighths above the shelf. Has anyone else experienced an increase in speed and accuracy with this method as opposed to split finger? And can anyone explain why my draw length increased?

I bet your mainly getting a cleaner release which increases your speed and your getting more power on the string with 3 under so your draw has increased . I shoot 3 under for thoese very reasons but alot of people shoot split better and have bad results with 3 under .I think you have found what works best for you . good shooting !

When I first started shooting traditional bows I was taught split fingers. Then I met a friend that shoots 3 under and I tried it. I found I shoot more accurately with 3 under.

Brittman sounds like he's onto something. I would like you to get more scientific and ue a chronogragh so we all know for sure. I'm interested in this.

The static tiller of your particular bow might be better suited for three fingers under also?
