I learned to shoot split fingered and did very well. After watching masters of the bare bow I decided to play around with my anchor and moved to three under. I honestly can't tell a huge difference in my shooting either way lol. I do like having the shaft closer to my plane of vision. For those longer shots I use a gap method.

Bob once I gave it an honest try and a little getting use to the tab(I tried a bunch of tabs with lots of mods along the way) I have become super comfortable with the three under and a tab.
Lynda I started with glove and split finger. Tried glove and 3 under did not like at all. Tab split was alright, once I got use to tab and 3 under I am set. I can not wait till the clinic. I know I have more wrong than right with my form and Rob will most likely shake his head and say there is no hope for you. I have my anchor figured out and have been shooting pretty consistent for the last couple of months. I have been working with my FMJ's and woodies.
this. Is shooting one FMJ then a woodie chasing. Range 20 yards.
this is 8 shots 25 yards with my new favorite bow. It my Sarrels Wildcat (65#@28- drawing 29-1/4 with my Rick Barbee string ).
I just hope Rod can help me.

It took me a lot of years to finally convince myself to shoot 3 under long enough to say I really gave it an honest effort.
I had tried it many times in the past, and I hated it, so always after just a few loosed arrows I would go back to split finger.
About three or four years ago I decided I was going to give it a try again, but this time I put a time frame on it. I told myself come HellOrHighWater I was going to shoot only 3 under for two weeks, and that's what I did.
The funny thing is - I was hooked on the 3 under only after about 3 days, and that two weeks has now turned into several years.
I can't say the switch made me more accurate over all, but I can say without a doubt, that it is much more conducive to the hunting distances I normally shoot, and also to the average 3D competition distances, because I am a split vision shooter (GapStinctive I like to call it), and it took my point on from around 70 yards down to 30, and with a little more fine tuning on down to 25.
I doubt seriously I'll ever be switching back to split finger.

Here is a picture Steve Slevin took while I was shooting at Bob's place one day. It shows the fingers on the string and you can see that the string is not very much out of alignment.
