Methods of Arrow release
« on: September 18, 2007, 02:16:36 am »
Hey, Just wondering what methods of arrow release y'all use.  The traditional English methos, or other methods developed such as the indian methods of gripping with index finger left of arrow, middle finger right of arrow & thumb under for the draw and release.  Or other methods???

Med release and sometimes 3 fingers under. I do want to learn the Asian thumb ring method one day soon.

Same as most. I've used the pinch grip a bit, but I'm not as comfortable with it as the Med.

Progress might have been all right once but it's gone on for far too long.

When you come upon a track or trail you do not know, follow it to the point of knowing.

Did you find the sioux release difficult initially???  And do you now find it more practical and effective???

   ........................................................... Started with a straight pinch grip and as a boy and grew stronger with the bows started ta use the sioux release since thats what I was taught and the med release was so foreign ta me. The release is what I have used for lots of years. For me its effective you decide ifn ya think its pratical fer you. Like I said no finger pinch...................bob
