I shoot instinctvely with fingers with my Bowtech Pro 40. I anchor very close to my and use my arrow as a refrence point to my target in perifirul vision and I put the string at my finger tips. I shoot good thsi way but lateley ive been all over. Maybe bad form? Any info would be great thanks guys.

Believe it or not, the closer you get the string to the tips of your fingers, the less accurate you are. You actually get more archers paradox the closer the string is to the tips. It has something to do with rolling the string off of your fingers instead of being able to release the string by relaxing the back of your hand and letting the fingers move out of the way naturally.

Here's a good pic of where your string should lie. Don't ask me why, but it works.

I am not a fingers shooter, but the type of serving on most bowstrings does not serve the fingers shooter well. I would have it replaced with Halo or Brownell Crown center serving. I think most finger shooter like the Crown serving better.
