My bro and I was wondering which Mathews would work the best for a finger shooter [?] I know the SWITCHBACK is to short way too much finger pinch. I bout got him to go the right way [:D]

    I think the Ovation would be the best bow for a finger shooter. If he's not sold on that, Reflex makes a Caribou that is made for finger shooting.

    I used to shoot a conquest 2 with fingers. I am not sure of axle to axle length but no problems. Mathews now makes a Conquest 3 which has the newer limb pocket design.

    I tried to get him to shoot with a release but he is to DARN BULL HEADED.
    He shoots to good with fingers for him to switch anyway.When we go 3D shoots there are less guys in his class now days.

    Reflex isn't that a 4 lettered word [?]( HOYT )[B)]

    If he shoots that well with fingers, than there aint no reason he should use a release. If it aint broke, dont fix it.

    I guess maybe he should go to a mathews dealer and shoot several models to see which one shoots best with fingers. I personally like a release it's consistant because it is mechanical.
