Release, or Finger tip Glove
« on: March 05, 2017, 04:23:08 PM »
I've been looking into getting a new bow ( I'm not new to the sport, just been away for awhile) I have noticed that almost all of the bows come with D loops for releases, and very few with knocking points. Don't anyone shoot with finger tabs any more?

Short ATA makes it almost impossible to shoot with a glove.Use a release,good sight and good rest and you'll never look back.

Short fast bows are REALLY hard to shoot with fingers!
Kindly do not attempt to cloud the issue with too many facts.

Shorter bows can also derail easier when using fingers. Very easy to torgue left or right and there goes the string off the cams or idler wheel.

It tends to pinch tomuch with fingers on new bows. Get a decent release and you'll be golden. :tup:

Also can happen when using a release and a yellow jacket lands on your face!

Hunter man T, I've shot fingers for 30 yrs, still do.  I've got an older Hoyt Ultratec with an ata of 39".  I used to shoot with a glove but now  I shoot 3 fingers under the arrow which eliminates the influence of the finger pinch on the arrow.  Shooting this way also allows me to shoot what is typically known as a release shooters rest, a 2 prong TM hunter.  Saying all this, I would not shoot a bow with an ata shorter than this with fingers.   :twocents:  the Hot carbon defiant 34 is supposed to shoot like it's 37 inches at a but have not checked it out myself.

I shot fingers until around 2006. I figured not having a release meant one less thing to fail in the field. Then, I put a D-ring on my string just to try it and haven't looked back. And as mentioned, most of the new bows have such a short axel-to-axel, it's impossible use fingers. You can use an older bow but then you sacrifice the advances in speed and energy which have come along. By the way, it certainly does suck when you leave it on the dashboard as you leave your rig to go into that active stand by the wallow...or so I've heard.

Looks like I'm going to have to learn to shoot with a release.

Or buy a recurve...
In archery we have something like the way of the superior man. When the archer misses the center of the target, he turns round and seeks for the cause of his failure in himself.

If your serious about changing your style of shooting do it sooner than later.Get your bow and release your going to hunt with and put 1000,1500 shots through it.Good sight,drop away rest,rangefinder.I put my release on in the truck and leave it on all day.Shoot until all movement is second nature.If you do this when the time comes to take a real shot on an animal it will be automatic.
