Finger immobilty...
« on: May 27, 2005, 08:29:03 AM »
Hello.
I think i have a problem.
I have trained archery for 10 years, and now my tip joint on my fingers have become very rigid/immobile.its not extreme but they are not so agile that my friends. When i put in my fingers in the holes the mid joint is 1/3 or 1/4 inch above the ball.
I think i cant get high revs because my fingers don't come all the way under the ball when i release.
Does any one else have the same problem? Or someone maybe got a solution on the problem?

A lot of us old folks hae the same problem.  I solved it by putting forward pitch in the finger holes.

Next time you are at the proshop, have them set it up in their measuring ball.

If the joints are stiff you can combat that with reverse pitch in the fingers.  Due to many rears as a mechanic  my fingers don't bend at the last joint. I use 1/2 inch reverse in the fingers and get plenty of lift
