Title: My Release
Post by: PrimitiveTim on March 15, 2014, 12:48:33 am

Someone noticed my release and asked me to make a video on it so I did.  I'm not really sure what to call it but it's a pinch grip variation I guess.  Anyway, let me know what y'all think of it.  I'm interested if any of y'all use abnormal releases and what they're like.

Nice gear. definitely primitive. I've tried shooting like that but never had the fingers for it. Located in Florida?

yussir, central Florida by that place they keep shooting rockets up in the air.  It took some conditioning for my fingers to build up the strength but a few arrows a day and you'll get it.

You already know, I like shooting with a thumb ring. Can't do the pinch release with #50-60 bows, though.

Ive recently started using a thumb release as well.I shoot from the left side of bow rather than right side as most thumb shooters do.I anchor my middle finger over the thumb and my pointer finger,just points.
