the 'textbook method' varies with differnt styles of shooting.
For barebow (no sight, stabilisers etc) 3 fingers under is probably the most common.
For target shooting, 2 under, 1 over is considered correct (with variations like 1 over, 1 under, or very little weight on the 'over' finger - but that's more than you need to know at the mo...).
However, the most recent coaching guidance has been to start people off with 3 fingers under. I've given my opinion of that elsewhere .
