Have a browse through the Shooters' Forum, and you'll get heaps of information.

As you may have guessed, that topic has been cussed and discussed      

I have done both. I'm back to three under and doubt I will switch again. I shoot much better that way.

Three under puts the arrow closer to the eye and helps many people shoot well with less practice...and some shoot better that way no matter how much they have practiced with other methods that position the arrow nock further from the eye. On the other hand lower anchors/nock positions tend to be easier to use in long range shooting. With a F-glass laminated bow there is little concern abouyt tillering specifically for three under and  if you like shooting that way It certainly doesn't bother me. Three under can be hard on selfbows unless the tillering accounts for it. Of course 3 under doesn't work well with loose fitting nocks. For me split is simply "right". I shot 3 under a little bit 25+ years ago. It was easy to hit close range targets but it never felt "right" to me so I switched back to split.

It works fine. I hope your nock doesn't fly apart when you shoot it: and fly into your eye...saw that once happen.

I shoot two fingers split.

I shoot 3 under and it doesn't bother me a bit; it feels more natural to me than split.  

I had a nock break at the shot a couple weeks ago.  The pieces of the nock ended up well in front of me; I'm not at all sure how shooting split would have put my eyes at less risk.
