Hunting - bare fingers, target shooting - Damascus type deerskin glove, or lately been using one of the mechanic type gloves - great feel for the string. Bob

Bare fingers, sometimes bare thumb, until I spring for a glove.

Found this online, trying to figure out how it holds the string..  Was looking for the leather release but can't seem to find it.
