That's the only way of which I am aware that you can move the nock closer to your eye and continue to use a split finger release. Some just find it uncomfortable to raise their hand, and arm, up that high. At north of 70, that's my case, but I tried it and it does work. It's just not comfortable for me.

Take a good look at the picture of the late Fred Bear, commonly included in most Bear ads, and you'll see that his anchor is just about as you've described.

Have Good Fun!   :jumper:

Yep  Split finger with ring finger in corner of mouth. have shot this way for close to ten years now. As i remember had to raise my nocking point a bit though. try it, think you will like it in no time.

I like 3 fingers under. Stacey Grosscup actually told me to shoot this way and worked great and have done since.

I guess it must have something to do with living in N.J. because that is how I shoot.
