I learned on an old recurve when I first picked up a hunting bow. I had a longbow for kids, than a kids compound bow. I bought a used Hoyt compound with a spring rest and shot it instinctively. I could turn it horizontally, shoot it laying down, etc, because I didn't use sights, and because of the type of rest I used. I have always shot fingers as well. If you do use the three fingers under the nock, use it on a longbow or recurve. With the shorter length of a compound, you can get a lot of finger pinch, unless you have a really short draw length. I like traditional for the greater challenge, carrying a lot lighter weight, and the peace and quiet when target shooting.
