    Any Compound Finger shooters out there?

    I've always shot my compounds with fingers but from what I've seen there's very few like me releasing an arrow using fingers with the exception of traditional shooters. I tried a release but I didn't care for it. I shoot a Mathews Conquest 3 and Gold Tips. Any TBHers shooting a compound with fingers?

    I shot my compounds mostly bare bow with a tab for close to 20 years. Bear, Martin, Oneida, Mathews...all of them. What a fun way to hunt and shoot.
    Nowadays, I shoot my trad bows with a tab and my Heli-M with a release. :-)

      I shot fingers in 3D for several years, with excellent results.

      Even a few hunting trips. Depending on level of tuning, practice etc, a finger shot arrow is every bit as accurate as a release IMO. I draw with 3, then drop the bottom and top fingers at anchor, only using middle finger to actually release the arrow.

      Have even shot several 300 5 spot rounds with "finger."

        Mike "Lowe" does and has for many years. One of the best if not the best finger shooters I have ever been around.

            Used to when I was younger shooting 4H competitions. Use a release now.

                I did for years shooting indoor spot and 3d til a hand injury put a stop to it. Slowly teaching myself to shoot left handed with a recurve. I'll still shoot a release right handed.

                    Had to once. Successfully harvested a big boar.
                    I had left both releases in camp, so I think I would be comfortable doing it again(if I have to).

                        On my longer compounds I will. At my 31.5" draw the shorter axle to axle bows pinch to hard for a clean release.

                          I shot a tab for years but shoot a release now.
                          What are the good finger bows out now?

                            Any of the Conquest line, Rival Pro if you can find one. Athens Exceed 300 was my finger rig of choice. Just the right amount of ATA and letoff, and their dual synced cams & draw stops made for a solid wall, repeatable shot.

                            IMO, the only thing ever missing from the Conquest was a draw stop.
