Ive got a Ben Pearson Cougar coming that I won on EBay. I was curious if you prefer split finger or 3 under and why? Are there pros and cons to either or? Or is it just preference really?
This is a great post. This is one of the reasons I have never hunted trad, I can shoot ok with split finger but I have to be on it every day. That's not realistic. So with three under, you are using the arrow tip as a sight then? I am really interested in hunting trad this year but just don't have the time to shoot a hundred arrows instinctively every day. I just watched a Clay Hayes Video related to this subject and he said most people can reasonably expect 6" groups within three weeks with three under etc. Maybe it was the Push video.
I shoot three under because @movehuntir told me to . . .
Thank you for the replies so far! Gloves or tab for you fellas?
Started with a tab but then @JCLINE84 turned me onto the Big Shot Elk glove. That thing ROCKS!Thank you for the replies so far! Gloves or tab for you fellas?
I'm shooting a 70# compound (30"DL) and a 50# @ 28in Longbow (probably drawing 28.5"). I'm not having any issues shooting the longbow, in fact I may be having an easier time with the longbow than the compound. I have a bad shoulder and it catches in my draw cycle about where the compound bow starts to load up. When I'm drawing the longbow I'm past that point before I'm pulling any real weight.What draw weight do you shoot with a recurve vs a compound? I usually shoot 47-50# with my compound, so I expect less with the recurve.
