I am 63 years old and I have always shot split finger since I started shooting a bow at five years old

This guy is great…regardless of the topic. Humble expert

I shot competition barebow in 71-73. Split finger, same as you. My best score was 89/89 in the bull in a Robin Hood shoot. I never shot #90...long story. I also shot 6 in the gold@60 yards  during a Double American Round...in round 2. I shot field archery also but I wasn't too good at that. I was not a great hunter either. I was 21 in 1972. Up to todays date, 4/8/2023, I have killed 1 rabbit. Period. That was in 1962. 😟 I just got a new setup for bowfishing. I need to get some strength back. Southwest 64" Spyder XL. It came on 4/7. I'm droolin wanting to get it out. It has been a long time...but I can still pull a 45 pound bow and hold the draw. Wish me luck. And...Thank you for the great video. I am now a subscriber.

I learned how to shoot a bow from my father when I was about eight or nine years old. That was 60 years ago. At that time there were no compound bows and wooden arrows were the rule not the exception. I learned split finger and I have never shot any other way. I also cant my bow the way you do. I had a friend all through my youth and early adulthood who was as crazy about archery as I was. We shot every day. We were truly instinctive shooters. I feel my instinctive archery skills have decreased since I do not shoot as often. But, when I do get out to shoot, it comes back quickly. It is still one of the most relaxing and meditative things I do.

I just discovered your channel, and you're really helping me on my archery journey. Thanks, Jeff! Best regards from Brazil.

The best thing about getting proficient at instinctive shooting is that it allows you to hit moving targets like a quarterback, the bad thing  is that you need to shoot 10,000 times to become instinctive like throwing a ball.

Switching back to split finger cut my bow noise down by 1/2 as well as string torque.   Thank you sir.  Wow..

I just seen the video of you closing shop
I truly appreciate all the videos and I hope you can still be making these videos.
God bless you and hope everything turns out well.

hi fella wow that make sense buddy i got my archery cert 3 months ago and im getting better but now iv seen your method i will try that thankyou kind regards mike in the uk.

May God bless and keep your family safe as you move forward with life.
You have been a blessing to many of us who admire and respect you.

I will miss your videos and bow content more than anyone. I was saving up to buy one of your bows. Your technique for these bows it on point and helped me become a way better shot. Thank you sir for instilling a good Christian foundation with everything you do. It’s a motivation. Thanks again. For everything.

God bless you big love from Australia. The deer over here bounce on their hind legs and are protected but pigs and goats are a free for all. Your videos on foc are helping me 100%. Thanks again. Dan.

Jeez great accuracy with no holding at anchor. Really quick snap shooting.

I'd like to get a little more info on the bow you're shooting in this video. Having trouble finding 3-piece Carbon Vapor... I'd be very interested in one. Great shooting. Thx!

Makes sense because I tried 3 under for the first time couple weeks ago and I was low in my groups. I've shot split for 45 years, I was apprehensive to even try, but I got out my biggest backstop so I didn't have to worry about my arrow separation anxiety! 😅 I always have a hill or dirt pile behind my targets cause every once in a while when you get tired,but you just can't make yourself stop shooting,cause I love it. You'll eventually start getting sloppy and I tend to start just letting them fly. Thanks for the lesson it makes sense to me. I usually stop while I'm still stacking them so I can feel good  when I stop.

I'm really glad I found this video. Today I was practicing with my son. He's a very good snap shooter. He doesn't cant his bow. I'm not a snap shooter. I'm better with going through my progressions. Today I tried shooting without the cant. I went left and right a lot. I think for me personally, I have to cant the bow. Your video was confirmation. Thank you

It's nice to see all the comments on here. I'm a bowhunter 1st & foremost & I've done all styles of shooting from different bows. This fall I decided to quit the compound in 2023 for hunting.  I have excelled @ shooting the recurve @ carp which I believe is the best method for big carp that just seem to sink & disappear b4 u can get a good aim on them with a compound.  
Split-finger shooting with a canted bow is all I've ever done. I have a great grip on my custom takedown.  It was made by the infamous Mr. Asbell who founded the Bighorn Bow Co. He  recently passed earlier this month. I'm going to get some new limbs & a string for it.  Always shot alot of 3D from a 🌳 which is my hunting style. With a compound I always shot a very open sight window with a rock solid anchor & I'm no different with a recurve. I tanned a prime beaver so I always have a great source of natural string silencers.  So nice that I found your channel since their is so much jargon that doesn't connect with me like you do. Back in the day I used to watch the Paul Brunner videos that had many get aspects in them that struck a cord. Take care & have a nice thought for Mr. Asbell.

Great stuff finally a video that talks about the same style of shooting I do, and relate with , thanks

Welcome to the benefits of split finger! Great video.

This video has helped me more than any other video I could find.  Thank you!
