I have asked numerous questions of many of you regarding; shooting gloves, tabs, shooting split finger vs three under, finger pinch, and miscellaneous up coming traditional archery events.
Well, I now am able to notify you all, that I am finally able to use that new shooting glove my wife got for me.
And, there is No finger pinch at all !!!
I discovered a sure fire way to stop any and all finger pinch caused by nock pinch from shooting the split finger or Mediterranean style.
It was very easy, I don't know why I did not think of, or do it before..... The guaranteed cure of finger pinch is ...
Just buy a Longbow...

very very nice. Congrats
That's a nice looking bow. Creative way to show it off.
Stewart's are sweet and that has to be the best I've seen - enjoy!
She's a beaut!
And my screen is large enough I was able to view from a distance so as not to drool on it!
Wow, them lines..... Nice bow!
Well, I did not damage my computer, but you are right, that is a gorgeous bow!

Sweet. Now if you can only shoot as good as your bow looks. Have fun. Enjoy. :thumbsup:
I did drool, but I'm known for that.
Great bow!
Fine looking stick you have there.
Very nice bow bill enjoy, !!!!!!!
Thank you all for your kind words.
Every time I shoot this longbow, I am kicking myself... Why did I not do this years ago.
The Longbow, wisper quiet, and very smooth on draw and release. Everything I was looking for in a bow.
I can clearly see now as I am getting older the cycle is complete.
As I just recently explained to my wife, I have slowly been Progressing in reverse.
Started as a young boy with a longbow, then went to a recurve. Followed the crowd and used a compound. I did not find satisfaction shooting with training wheels, cables, vibration and noise. Changed back to the recurve in 1995.
But, I felt deep down, as something was missing. After much research, I have decided to try using a longbow as a grown adult. Wow, what a difference!
For me personally, I feel as though I've found the holy grail. The long search and jurney is finally over.
Today I have the complete package. Stealth, smoothness on draw and release, and artistic beauty.
Again, I thank you all for your advise and words of encouragement.
Nice!
I strapped on my drool bucket ahead of time.
On my tablet, propped up, no worries!
I was thinking, wow that's pretty, and then I saw "Stewart" in that familiar handwriting. That's when I lost it!
:scared: :clapper:

Nice looking Bow. Guess it's Fox. I have a Breed.

I'm glad that you found a solution to your problem, and a very attractive one at that! Good shooting. :archer2:
That sure is a beauty!
Nice lookin' stick!
Soooooo, buy a bow to match your glove, is that the way to do it? Sounds logical to me.
Wow.... 62" and 45#!!! I bet she shoots like butter! Those veneers are absolutely gorgeous!

I wish I did this years ago, go well, live and learn.
Thanks for the kind comments.

Yes, no more finger pinch, AND I can use my new finger glove.
Thank you.
That is a sweet looking bow for sure!
Leon's bows are simply artwork... The lines are special.
Bill,
I've shot such a list of top end bows in the last three years and Leon's bows definitely always rise to the top. For me they are a benchmark in how a radical longbow should perform. I have owned four of Leon's bows so far and my current Lil Slammer is an absolute delight to shoot for being such a wee bow. Leon's artistry is well worth the price of admission because to me the bows shoot better than they look, it's hard to wrap one's head around that.

I Sir, can fully comprehend your statement.
This bow is a pure joy to shoot, and as the functioning tool it is; I am going to work it hard too.
Probably illegal to have such a beauty back there. I will sacrifice and risk a suit and take her off your hands. I am old and can drag out a lawsuit.......
