Fingers, where are they?
« on: June 26, 2017, 12:28:00 AM »
So I was discussing finger position the other day with someone and the debate raged.  3 Under or Split?  Who shoots what?  What % of us shoot where?

3 Under with a tab. Tried split but it just did not feel right to me.

Both; but I voted the one I have used the most lately.  Maybe this is my problem!    :biglaugh:

I don't like how loud my bow seems when shot 3 under.  So I shoot split.

I'm surprised by the results so far. I shoot split but it seems most 3D competitors shoot 3 under with a high anchor and/or string/face walk.

3 under........shot split for 30 years and then went 3 under. I would find it very difficult to go back now. I get a good release and my accuracy is more consistent.

3 Under. Started split in the late 60's. 3 Under is more comfortable for me.

Started 3 under with a glove. Went to split with a glove. Now I am split with a tab. I'll never go back to either.

Split. It just feels more natural and quicker to get ahold of the string without looking. I tried three under but didn't like how loud it made my bow. I thought I was gonna break it.
