| I can't comment with too much authority on release aids I tried them but I found the temptation to punch overwelming.So I went back to fingers, you could always do the same if can't cure your problem. the plus point with a longer valley is that if you do let forward a little you won't hit the ramp.as for the rest It depends too much on the construction of the bow. A lot of people rave about barnsdales and stable and forgiving they are on Archerytalk, Marcus seems to think that long AtA bows are not that forgiving.You pays your money and fits the bows to your style. For fingers there are two options according to the letoff. Firstly with about 50% letoff and holding about 30 lbs you can shoot like a recurve but out of the valley, there is enough weight to get good finger clearance on loose you could even use a clicker. At higher letoffs there is a light weight on the fingers, pulling firmly into the back wall and loosing with a good backwards movement off the back wall seems to be the way to go.  |
