This has happened to me, I started out shooting with a glove anyway and am still just as comfortable shooting this way, keep in mind it will change your anchor point and sight view.

Another tip is always carry some arrows with field points while on stand, if you want to shoot some small game to pass the time you don 't need to waste exspensive broadheads.

I don't know about this tip...

It might be different for others, but...

I am pretty efficient with fingers, as I use a recurve often. I can also shoot well with a compound and fingers. My groups are barely bigger than ones I shoot with a release...

BUT - the point of impact is different, off by 2-3 inches. I know this isn't a very big difference, and it can be compensated for, but it is worth noting.

Now that I typed all that, I think herbie might have been getting at the same thing.

In any case, I don't think that fingers or not is any measure of how good you are, and I think you should shoot deer with what you practice with. At least, you should practice with both, and know where your arrows will go with both, just in case.

Practicing fingers and then expecting the same results when you forget your release for your release sighted bow isn't a solid practice.

This is a good idea because you never know when your going to lose something.Thanks for the tip. |}{|
:)

when i forget my release, i go back and get it.

Good tip!

I never thought of knowing both.Thanks.

I always keep a spare release in my pack just like a pack of matches and my flint and steel its always there.

I can shoot both ways , I shot with fingers before I shot with a release.
