mecahnical release and no sights?

[GoodOlBoy]

I have been a bare bow finger shooter all my life, I am now considering adding a mechanical release and a d-loop in to save my fingers from the pain of shooting as much as I have been. Anybody else shoot a release and not use sights, peeps, scopes, range-finding recticles, heat seeking ballistic auto-targeting gps super carbon titanium combo arrows?

Yes I still shoot aluminum arrows as well.

I shot finger for years and discovered how much better I do with a release. I would never go back. Shooting a animal with a bow isn't easy and I try to take advantage of everthing I can including sites and heat seaking missles.

Yeah I am probably going to go to a cajun roller rest as well, my old Bear black plastic tab rest is getting a little long in the tooth

I have shot my bow for years like that, until a couple of years ago. The last 2 years i have been using sights. I have decided next year i will be going back to shooting instinctive and using aluminum arrows instead of carbon. My problem using sights is i have to really concentrate on my anchor point and getting everything lined up. Shooting instinctively i anchor my release at the corner of my eye and looking right down the arrow. As far as using aluminum, i think i can get them to be quieter than my carbon arrows. I guess what i am saying is i really miss shooting instinctive. I grew up doing it that way and next year will be going back to it. More enjoyment for me.

Uncle Teddy did it for quite some time with amazing results. You, shouldn't have any problems. JMHO
