Compound bows you could finger shoot..
Ya I know, it's odd. But that's what I wanna keep doing.
Anyone got any model ideas on newer compounds that are still big enough for a guy to use finger tabs on?
I'm gonna step into the 21st century this year and retire my old 1990 PSE .
Thanks.
Ps, I don't live near a decent archery store.

Finger bows
Any bow with a longer axle to axle length would work best. Chuck Adams who shoots for Hoyt used to shoot the Vantage LTD which is 45" ATA. Cheers roscoe

A Hoyt Tribute probably is your best bet for a true finger bow. I'm guessing that's the one Hoyt makes just for Chuck

 Agreed ..with a 38" bow being the minimium for best results...the new bows that are under 38" are too short for the best results...

finger bow
I used to shoot a 1996 browning maxum. Still have it if you are interested. I know it is a '96 but it is an awesome bow. 29-32 inch adjustable draw, 70lbs. Let me know.

I shoot a 34 inch axle to axle, it is an elite gt500 cranked down to 55 pounds. I do not have any trouble shooting it. Just keep in mind you can finger shoot any compound bow, but shorter axle to axle increases your chances of torqueing the bow and derailing it. As well as more finger pinch.

Saw some guys on youtube awhile back finger shooting a bare-bow Mathews Z7.
Betcha the No Cam target might be a nice finger shooter. I believe the Conquest 4 is designed around finger shooters.

You aren't by chance left handed, need a long draw and want a heavy weight.

Aren't those the guys who always shot muzzys and high poundage bows? If I remember right it was them that made the video "swamp bucks bonanza" always watched it at my buddies place. Classic old school hunting movie.

But way back in 1990, when my dad bought my bow for me at the Edmonton Sportsmen show, he got me a righty.
So I spent five years learning how to shoot righty....
... Now shooting lefty is a wonky thing for me.... Lol
...... And yes... I rifle shoot left.. I'm a screwup that way

Genesis Bow is the latest best compound bow brand known to me so far. It comes with molded competition grip, lower mount stainless steel cable guard, cable slide. I am having this from so long and it comes as expected very nice, and packaging was good too. I personally suggest all to buy this at least once
