[Sling-it]

The traditional vs Olympic is a valid explination, however there is a difference that you may want to look at.

In the beginning, my daughter was tought to shoot three fingers under. As a little one (age 5) it was much easier to teach her to shoot, since the top finger didn't pinch the arrow causing it to get nocked off on the way to anchor (grip deepens on inexperienced young archers as the natural draw cycle increases poundage). It was good to get her started, but an adult who is able to destinguish the difference may be better suited with the one over method.

My daughter shot these three under for quite some time. When she turned the next class up, she went to an outdoor shoot, and had to aim at the top of the target but in order to drop the arrows into the gold. Had she been shooting one finger over, we would have had room on the sight to move her to 50 yards. That one finger adds enough elevation to the arrows arch to make probably one hole distance (or so).

When you try, keep in mind, you will need every bit of assistance to make the distance that you can get..........one over will help you out in this.
