Hi,

The style you're using is "Freestyle", its the most common style used to shoot recurve, and is normally associated with sights, stabilisers and other gadgets.

3 fingers underneath is "Barebow", and its a method used a lot for people shooting without sights etc as it moves the arrow into line with the eye so its a lot easier to aim using the arrow or point.

It doesn't exactly pull unevenly, and the only real affect on the release is to make it easier to be smooth and not affect the arrow (you can't knock the arrow as easily at least)
