RMS Gear has a program for us long distance folk that allows you to shoot the bow for a specified time (I think it is one week) and if you aren't sure that one is for you, send it back with no problems.  They want you to be happy        

I have dealt with Tommy and his crew for a couple years (from Michigan) and they are always ready to make me happy.

Can't ask for better!

One of the best shooting coaches I know is Tom.

I like the idea that the grip felt good to you.  Personally my favorite bow for a grip is the Apache by Navajo Bows.  I shoot other bows and enjoy them, but I can't get over the grips Roy Hall puts on the Navajo models.

I would definitely sign up for a shooting clinic if you can find one in your area.  Even if you end up shooting differently than the instructor recommends, you will know what you are doing.

Personally I call the split finger method the Mississippi release, named after Elvis' home town.

Toelkes are great bows!  They are all I shoot.  Stick w split finger--- going to three under won't solve anything.  I believe you'd be very happy with a Toelke bow.  I can't shoot mine around people without getting comments about how quiet the bow is and how deadly accurate of a shot I am---- ok, but the quiet part is true...  Not sure what your draw length is, but I like the 62" a bit more than my 58" whip.  Best of luck.
