Title: TWO fingers under
Post by: KentuckyTJ on June 12, 2009, 06:45:00 PM
I just shot a round with two under instead of my usual three.  I was amazed at the groups I was shooting.  What's with that?  Wonder why my accuracy increased? I assume it's simply a cleaner release.

Which two? I shoot a two finger which is the normal split finger but stick the index finger strait out. Real clean release

Tom, I shot 2 under for the past 2 years. I think you put less torque on the string with 2 under. I switched back to 3 under this year, mainly because it's easier on my fingers!

Lots of reasons why, but if it works why worry.

Mostly guys shoot with three fingers on the string for the strength it affords. If you are having no problems with that then you reap the benefits of less string contact which leads to less string torque and inconsitant arrow flight.

What Jerry does was once real common with archers in these parts. Jerry is about as good as it gets when it comes to this bow shootin stuff so he knows what he's talkin about.

Jerry, I used index and middle finger. First time I've ever tried it. What's the benefit of using Middle and Ring finger over Index and Middle finger Jerry?

Allen, I would expect a buddy like you to pass these kind of secrets on to us wanna be's.

Charlie, Thanks I figured it was a torque issue.

Tom, it's just another one of my "secret weapons"  LOL


I also tried 2 split the year before I used 2 under. I'll try just about anything 'till I find what works best for me.
