I shoot instinctive and don't even know what string walking is, so I'm neutral on the concept. I figure if I can't be accurate the way I shoot, then I have no room for complaint if someone out shoots me. But, that's just me.

It is another way to shoot a stickbow like instinct or arrow point in relation to your target. It can produce ugly arrow flight due to different finger location on bow string. I also shoot instinctively and do not fully understand it, but the write up that Biggen posted helped me understand. Just my opinion but if people chose to shoot that way let em shoot so long as they are shooting.

doesn't seem like any more of an advantage than anyone else has.

I'm not really a tournament shooter but here's my take on it...if a guy is shooting fingers (glove or tab) and without sights, then it doesn't matter what "aiming" system he uses. JMO.

I belive that some tournaments require the shooter to have ONE finger touching the nock to prevent "walking" and some don't allow you to shoot 3-under at all to make "gap" shooting more difficult. I've only shot one LSBA Tournement (thanks for bringing a Regional to North Texas, btw) so I'm not really sure where we have stood on this issue.

Honestly, Joey, I don't see any advantage one way or the other fingers or release. I think a release would be less user friendly though.

I have enough challenges with my shooting and I do not need any more.

Here is my thinking....

I personally would not do it. I have enough trouble shooting as it is. However, if you are going to not allow this then you should not allow gap shooting. I think it would be hard to "prove" someone is gap shooting, other than them coming out and telling you they do.

I think let them shoot the way they want to. If you start to get complaints, then we can revisit the issue. JMO
