In my little peanut view of things, archery marksmanship, just like rifle marksmanship (in which I am considerably more schooled and practiced)is an attempt to build a bunch of repeatable processes which result in a consistent release or shot. I’ve shot 3 under since I started, but for about a month now have been giving split a red hot go. It strikes me that in my list of processes split finger gives me one more thing to consider (where is my top finger?). In that regard, by striking out one part of a process, I think 3 under seems a little more “repeatable” or easier to “repeat”.
But like many wiser folks have already said, there is no ‘best’ way, but there may be a ‘best for you’. I’m trying to read widely and try as many different things as I can.
Oh and a final note, my fingers seem to be fatiguing faster shooting split, but I suspect that is just a matter of conditioning, or lack there of.
