shooting 3 finger under or split finger?

Traditional bows; Shooting 3 finger under or split finger?

 

What way do you shoot your traditional bow?

 

Thinking of changing to 3 finger under to prevent finger pinch when using a glove.

 

Have always used a tab for many many years, now for some goofy reason, decided to change to using a finger glove.

 

Since using the glove, I have had major finger pinch.

 

I just tried shooting 3 finger under, and like magic, things have just fell into place for me.

 

No finger pinch, sighting improved, as well as my hitting where I want the arrow to hit.

 

I believe there is something to this 3 finger under thing…..  What say you?

I tried 3 under for awhile but went back to a tab with 1 over.

 

I recommend going back to the tab.

3 under you can use the top 2 fingers for anchoring on my bows the top finger would be for a far shot around 20 and the middle finger would be around 10 it worked for me give it a shot

I shoot split finger with a tab

I've been shooting traditional exclusively for ~25 years.  Briefly tried 3-under and I knew right away it was not for me.  If your like me and shooting truly instinctive, focus on POI and nothing else besides draw, hit anchor and release then 3 under will most likely not be for you.  If you use any form of "aiming" then 3-under may work for you.  Best of luck and get yourself a nice cordovan tab and break it in, the more you use it the better it gets, loose the glove.

I've always shot split.  I tried 3 under once and didn't care for it.

3 under, instictive, glove.

3 under and instinctive, gives me a cleaner release and very solid anchor. At full draw my thumb knuckle lodges under my ear behind my jaw bone and the fletching touches the tip of my nose...very consistent. Good luck
