I know many other successful hunters that have said the same. But again, you have to find what works for you and your hunting style and the game you hunt.
I'm not much for static targets faces, but much better at stumping,...i'e'...pine cones, mushrooms, small grass clumps, leaves, spiders in webs. But that's what work for me.
Find your own way. Use what works for you and leave the rest on the table. That's what I did, and got several tips from old timers along the way earlier in my journey that helped me find what worked for me.
Don't rule out 'Olympic' style, but don't rule out your own abilities to find your on style for actual hunting. Sometimes it comes in handy to 'manufacture' a shot.
There is no broad brush or my way is the highway. Best of luck on your quest to be the most accurate you can be in the field of play.
I totally agree.
Since I have got my staghorn tempest, With its tiller, and its almost up right riser,It really really, likes split finger, and a shooting style very similar to Brady Ellison's.
It really likes to be treated, like an Olympic bow.
Its way more consistent,if I shoot it that way.
If I shoot it more canted and anchor,middle finger ,at the corner of my mouth, like I shoot when instinctive/traditional, style.
It is way way more less forgiving.
Instinctive seems to like a more of deflex style riser.
