Something has been annoying though. After a few draws, the fingers on my draw hand start to get sore and rather red. I have narrowed the problem down to 3 things:
1) Not been shooting too long, and fingers need toughening up
2) Poor form causing excees pressure on fingers
3) Not enough protection from finger tab
Plan on speaking to the coach on tuesday about it, but thought I would ask you knowledgable chaps/chapettes first.

Reversals are usually done with a foremaster training aid where you do not have to hold the string.
If you are just holding the bow at full draw for 30 sec as per exercise on the KSL site care is needed to ensure that your fingers have very good protection I understand that prolonged excess pressure on the finger joints can cause longterm problems to the ligaments. I tend to do one or two then give it a 2/3min rest to allow the fingers to recover but I am no doctor and hope that this works also I only do this excersise occasionally not everyday to remind myself about correct line the rest of the time I use the foremaster.
