I'm thinking of giving three under a try. Are any of you able to tune your bow for both styles or does it change your tune a great deal?
Generally you should be able to tune your bow for either style, but I'm not sure you could tune it ideally for both at the same time. 3 under generally requires a higher nocking point. You might try a 5/8" nocking point, which might be a little high for split and a little low for 3 under, but okay for both.
Mostly just a higher nock point from my experience. Bow is quieter for me with split but I just shoot much better 3 under. Not to add confusion but I hear a lot of good about "2 under" lately.....
Thanks Dave. Shed, I'm not sure I could shoot with only two fingers.
Not in my personal limited experience and expectations.
Not the same thing as you asked but I have a friend who shoots three under. He offered to sell a really nice Tall Tines bow to me. It is tillered for three under. I shoot split finger.
I tried shooting it with the nock points set up where he had left them. It shot just fine. Good flight, I felt good enough about it that I used it this fall. Maybe it fell into the parameters set by Mcdave, never measured, it just worked as is.
Curios now, I should measure it for future string set ups.
For a while in the '80's I was drawing split and then straightening the index finger out after anchoring. It worked great with one particular bow of a light weight but strength was a problem with the heavier bows. Ended up back to typical split finger.
