So I was discussing finger position the other day with someone and the debate raged.  3 Under or Split?  Who shoots what?  What % of us shoot where?

3 Under with a tab. Tried split but it just did not feel right to me.

Both; but I voted the one I have used the most lately.  Maybe this is my problem!    :biglaugh:

3 under here. I'm more accurate shooting 3 under.

I don't like how loud my bow seems when shot 3 under.  So I shoot split.

I'm surprised by the results so far. I shoot split but it seems most 3D competitors shoot 3 under with a high anchor and/or string/face walk.

3 under........shot split for 30 years and then went 3 under. I would find it very difficult to go back now. I get a good release and my accuracy is more consistent.
In the beginner's mind there are many possibilities. In the expert's there are few...So the most difficult thing is always to keep your beginner's mind...This is also the real secret of the arts: always be a beginner.  Shunryu Suzuki

3 Under. Started split in the late 60's. 3 Under is more comfortable for me.

Started 3 under with a glove. Went to split with a glove. Now I am split with a tab. I'll never go back to either.

Split. It just feels more natural and quicker to get ahold of the string without looking. I tried three under but didn't like how loud it made my bow. I thought I was gonna break it.
