Why would you shoot with fingers? You can shoot instinctive with a release. Gap shooting you would need to revert to fingers.


Don't know why you couldn't gap shoot with a release.

My point was that the only reason to shoot instinctively in the first place would be if you wanted to simplify things. I suppose you could do that any way you want. People use to shoot recurves with releases and sights and arrow rests or any combination.You could do the same with a compound except that short compounds would make finger shooting very difficult because of string angle.
