Hello Kelly! Sorry for the delayed response, I have been gone for the last 7 weeks….Honestly, if your shooting well then dont change anything. However you will be more accurate and your anchor point will be more reliable or solid if you use your index finger. I find it much more comforatable if I use my index finger. The best advice is to try both ways and see if how it feels. If your more comfortable with your middle then by all means use that. Give the index finger a try, you may be pleasntly surprised at how much better you shoot!!

Hope this helps Kelly! Thank you for the compliment on the site, Leave a comment for Tom please! He is the man that has done all the work behind the scenes to make this happen!

Merry Christmas Kelly!!

Keep em in the X ring!

scott-i have a question ? and i am sure there are some shooters out there that might have the same dilema.trigger finger?index or middle;which is proper?I have noticed that Instinct does not work here its not automatic, I can use either or it dosent change anything.I had a friend of mine who is a very good shooter watch me shoot about 10 times or so to see if he could see anything he could correct for me,of course he had a list ,but right away he said why do you keep switching trigger fingers ,my reply was i never noticed …..?after 5 years of that ,how best to correct it? love the site very down to earth god bless ! tomorrow is almost here!

Thanks a bunch Scott. The answer was right there and I missed it. It did add an inch, but I can see I can easily pick that up with my release. I guess thats why we ask questions. I was so focused on the bow and adjusting it, that I missed the simple answer, thanks again.

Hi Gary, Thank you for asking!!

You bring up a great point, yes, sometimes this does happen, one downside to a loop. The only question I have is how much longer did it make your draw length? It should have made it at the most an inch, now depending on what type of release you shoot, you can bring it back to your correct draw length by shortening your release. Make sure your realease lays in the “V” between your index and middle finger. That is the proper fit for your wrist strap style release.

I hope this helps Gary and please feel free to hit me up if you have any other questions!!

Happy Hunting!

Scott

Scott – one thing I found out after the fact when I put my D loop on, I found out that my draw length was shortened as far as it would go and since the D loop added length to my draw I was caught in a quandry. Any suggestions? Good instructions!
