| I think you'll find that as a learner, you're taught only for the first lesson to draw the arrow with all 3 fingers under the arrow. This is probably because you were "sighting" by looking along the length of the arrow, and not actually using a bow sight at all.
Once you progress onto using a sight, the standard way of shooting is as you've already described, with your index finder ABOVE the arrow, and your middle and ring fingers below the arrrow. Your thumb and little finger should be tucked out of the way into your palm. Kind of like making the 3-fingered (Boy Scouts) salute.
