I feel like I get a smoother release with 3 under, but my bows seem quieter with spit finger so I choose quiet.

Both, If Im close say 5 yards 3 under gives me a lower impact point, with same anchor.

I voted my conscience here Steve. I shoot split left handed (my dominate), but I shoot three under right handed. And, yes I am a true ambidextrious shooter. I shoot equally poor with either hand.

3-fingers under by far and away more consistently accurate for me.  Noise and speed seem to be the same...shot split for 22 years and can't imagine going back.
We do not rise to the occasion.  We fall to our level of training.

I started out three under then moved to split,Jesse.  :archer:

There's just something that doesn't feel right to me about 3 under. Who knows!?  Split for me.  Matt

I started out split finger many years ago.  When I was trained for NASP they teach three under.  I shifted.  I don't notice any real difference so hhave stuck with three under so I can demonstrate the recommended form when I shoot with my students.
The season gave him perfect mornings, hunter's moons and fields of freedom found only by walking them with a predator's stride.

Split for me. I tried three under with my longbow and it seemed louder and I was less consistent.

Once again it depends on the bow!

On my target bows, split is required by target rules.

on my hunting bows - 3 under

on my longbow with a nocking button - 3 under

on my self bows with no nock point (not allowed) split

Do I get to vote 5 times here also?

ive tried 3under but it feels unnatural to me. split finger for me all the way.

kctreeman

Shot split for years. switched to two under this past season. Using a two under tab. quiet and smooth.

SpikeMaster

I was taught to shoot split finger when I was 8 or 9 years old about 40 years ago. I've tried 3 under and gap shooting but I could never get used to it. Seems like it should work better but for me it doesn't. Split finger instictive works best for me.
