3 Under. I feel like the arrow is a million miles away with split finger and I dont like it between my finger. 3 under feels more natural IMO, but split-finger does seem quieter.

3 under.  I switched from split a few years ago.  I may change back some time.

Split again......tried 3 under for several weeks about a month ago after reading all the threads here.  Just not natural to me after shooting split since I was 10....won't say how long ago that was.

Just because you are passionate about something, doesn't mean you don't suck at it.

Split.
Been using 3 under the past year or two. Been trying to get back in the hang or split. Now split seems as foreign to me as 3 under once did.

Hmmm, sort of surprising results so far.  I figured more people shot 3 under.
The years accumulate on old friendships like tree rings, during which time a kind of unspoken care and loyalty accrue between men.

3 under with a deep hook on the middle finger!

3 under.  String almost equally between joint and tip of fingers.

:confused:    :dunno:    :rolleyes:

Whatever. I voted 3 under. Just as traditional as split.
