3 Under. I feel like the arrow is a million miles away with split finger and I dont like it between my finger. 3 under feels more natural IMO, but split-finger does seem quieter.

Split again......tried 3 under for several weeks about a month ago after reading all the threads here.  Just not natural to me after shooting split since I was 10....won't say how long ago that was.

Split.
Been using 3 under the past year or two. Been trying to get back in the hang or split. Now split seems as foreign to me as 3 under once did.

Hmmm, sort of surprising results so far.  I figured more people shot 3 under.
