It’s really mixed around here with a slight lead probably going to 3 under. I tried split for a while but 3 under just works better for me partly because it allows me to use cock feather to nose as an anchor point. I draw with three but drop my ring finger off the string at anchor.
Split before a Rod Jenkins weekend shooting class, three under after the class because that’s how he shoots. Three under puts the arrow closer to my rear sight right eye, and this has tightened my groups up.
Split for me. That’s the way l learned a long time ago, and that’s what works for me. I e tried 3-under a couple different times over the years and it just wouldn’t work for me.
I’ve been practicing something I call “ don’t think just shoot”.
If I don’t think about the shot, just pull back, look and let it fly, it usually goes where I want it to, or very close. If I think about my grip, my anchor point, the bird flying above me or anything else, it will miss the mark.
I would think 3 under would be more of an aiming style will cause me to think about it so much I might as well attach a sight pin
Like other, I shot split for many years, and had a hard time getting in the groove with 3 under.
I finally forced myself to learn 3 under. Once I did, it became just as natural to me as split finger, and I can now do both equally well. I only use split for when shooting long/longer distances.
Due to how I loose/release/drop the string, I do not have to tune the bow any different from one to the other. Comes in handy sometimes.
