Recurve or longbow shooters use fingers. As to damage to the finger, it is possible to damage the nerves of your fingers if you're not releasing properly. The causes for damage is usually the fingers not relaxing quickly enough upon release. With a high poundage bow it is very easy to have too much tension in your fingers, the bow poundage will mask a bad release and the archer soon forget to practice his release skill. This is where the problem starts. As long as your release is clean, you won't have damage to your fingers even with high poundage bows. Most compound shooters use release.

No feel when you release). I started using a release about 5 years ago, and don't plan to go back. Shots are simply more consistent. Fewer fliers. When a deer is in front of you, or even when target shooting, you can flinch just like with a rifle. I started out using my fingers and a tab (never liked a glove, most are just too thick.

I agree totally on the accuracy aspect with regards to hunting. I will often stalk to within 10-15 yards so I can be confidant, even with the hart pumping and a bit of fatigue, that the arrow will go inside of an inch circle where I aim it.

They are much easier on the finger tips as well. Look at the professionals on the line at the tournaments and competition shoots and see how many you can find shooting without a release. That tells me all I need to know about whether I should or shouldn't. I do. I truly believe using a trigger makes me a better shot and more consistently accurate. As a hunter, that is more important to me than probably any other aspect of the hunt. I literally pray that my shot will be accurate, clean, and humane. I am confident that a trigger gives me more of an edge than I would have otherwise. I owe it to the animals I hunt to be as accurate as I can be. Need I say more? ;o) Good luck and good huntin'....... Those who are most likely to be serious about being a good shot by making a good release will like the consistency of the releases.

If you use a compound bow which most do then you should use a release. If you use a recurve bow you can use your fingers. I believe you are talking about a release.

]]> Comment on What is the best value rifle for Elk hunting? by Chris http://www.triviawarpodcast.com/what-is-the-best-value-rifle-for-elk-hunting/#comment-1293 Chris Wed, 01 Feb 2012 00:42:39 +0000 http://www.triviawarpodcast.com/what-is-the-best-value-rifle-for-elk-hunting/#comment-1293 The .243 Winchester is only ethical to use as an elk rifle when used by an expert hunter. He/she has the skill to get in close and place the shot precisely from close to medium range, i.e. 150yd or less. They will also be willing to pass up any shot that is remotely questionable. Going through a bulls massive shoulder is uncertain even with bullets like the Partition or X-Bullet. Anyone else needs the extra bit of forgiveness you get from slightly larger cartridges/calibers. In 99% of elk hunting you don't NEED to have a .338 Win. Mag. but it is never too much for elk. And for 95+% the .30-06 with a 165-200 gr bullet such as the Partition, Trophy Bonded, A-Frame, X-Bullet is all you need to cleanly take elk out to 300yd. A bonus with the -06 is that all but the most recoil sensitive shooters can handle it in a 8lb rifle. This can't be said of the .300 and up magnums.
