    I wanna make the switch to a handheld from a wrist strap. I would like to try the nock to it but I don’t know how hard the transition will be. I have shot some thumb button releases before but they were 4 fingers... does anybody have any advice on making the switch to a release that only takes 2 fingers ( i know you can use three but the 3rd finger grove isn’t much to hold onto) or has anybody made the switch and can tell me how hard it was??

    Dud has some older podcasts and maybe vids where he spoke about using any hand held. I use a 4 finger thumb, as a 2 finger.

    Consistent anchor point on the knuckles and building the strength to hold with 2 fingers to hold were 2 keys. A lanyard around my wrist v through the release also saved the rose a few times.

    Switching to a hinge you may want to consider a trainer to avoid smacks to the face.
