One thing though, a bad release with fingers holding more weight will effect arrow flight even more then a low poundage bow (compound or traditional) with a bad release. The more weight your holding the more form/release becomes an Issue.

I shot fingers on my Browning Timberwolf compound for the first 10 years that I bowhunted. After that I have always hunted with a release. I don't know that I would want to try to go back.

The problem with high let off bows and fingers is the tendency to twist the string. I shoot fingers, and you have to make sure your hand is flat and aligned with the string. My hand is plastered against the side of my face when I shoot. I also drop off two fingers and hold with just my "bird shooting finger". I use a whisker biscuit for the rest.

By the way....I did try a release once. After I cleaned the blood off my nose from it somehow accidentily going off during the draw, I put the release in a box and haven't looked at it since. I prefer the feel of the string in my hand.

I also want to point out that modern bows may be hard for finger shooters to draw, due to radical cam designs with harsh draw cycles, and you also have to have a forgiving valley, which most of these bows do not have. I shoot an older wheel bow, and feel these are best suited for finger shooters.

This works both ways (Dan's point).
