I have a matching one set for a release, for guests.
Just to see if it could be done, a bent sapling and a bootlace, has killed a small deer. (4pt). The bow is just a tool, the hunter is the weapon. smile
The newer short bows make finger shooting difficult, if not impossible. You need a release but on the other side, the short bow is much handier in brush or in a blind.


Most of the finger shooters that are left, shoot traditional. Good thing is that the used racks and pawn shops are full of old long AtoA bows for cheap.
