Fine tuning my release.

<< < (2/2)

perry:
 Depending on which bow I am shooting I need to have more or less pressure on differant fingers with my mediteranean release . This is due to each bow being differant , tiller , length's etc . Some bows even required a differant grip . I have now cut down on the number of bows on my rack .

regards Perry

  I have been shooting one bow, 48" and getting tremendous finger pinch with a Mediteranium release. So I started shooting two fingers, one over and one under. Really tough getting used to. I now have another bow, same style and length and weight. No finger pinch. Like Pat said, every bow is different and you need to try different styles to see what is more comfortable. I now have another 48" and I'm trying to get used to shooting with a thumb ring. This is a whole new Ball game.

Pat B:
Hitting way right Eddie? ;D      Pat

GregB:
I've always maintained a callous on the lower side of my ring finger from shooting. My main concentration is on my hand hold the bow and follow through. If I can control that, I usually can shoot decent. :)

Sidewinder:
Greg, thats what is happening to me as well. I have a callous forming on the right ring finger and I too am finding that if I control my follow theu on the bow hand and don't move it around that the arrow hits what I'm looking at ( or somewhere close anyway). As much as I have tried to put more of hte pressure on the middle finger or even the pointer, it seems more natural for the string to release more on the ring finger. Thanks for the input fellas.  Danny
