I use the 3 under technique for both my
recurve with sights or as a barebow and with a long bow.
This is the style that I have found suits me best, and no interference with the release from the top finger's tab.
Whilst browsing I noticed this thread which I read with interest, even though it is 9 years old now, as I am looking for a new
longbow but it seems that I should have it tillered to suit my style, to possibly enhance the longevity of my new long bow when I get one.
I have been told about other rules in archery that appear to apply in formal competition.
Any rule that does not have a satisfactory justification to me just seems petty. A person with arthritus or similar affliction may not use a release aid for any bow other than a
compound bow for example which seems be not at all enabling. Rules that dictate the preferences of others about marks on your bow or elastic bands, clothing and string walking are two that come immediately to mind and now it seems that where you put your fingers on your own bowstring is being dictated also.
Is anyone able to state please whether or not this, yet another, seemingly petty rule is still inforced by some or all of the apparent dinosaurs that seem to govern the sport at competition level, and is anyone able to justify it?
