Yep I don't see a problem with them either. It's the same as a glove, just on the string not your hand :biggrin:

Have been using them for near on 3 years now and would not change back to a tab or glove. Great feel with the fingers and the releases are smooth. Also provides a snug nocking point.

no gloves have been around for well over 30 years.
my kid grew up using them in the 70s.

Redfletch,

To the best of my knowledge there is no reference to them in the traditional rules or guidelines published by the various associations to prohibit their use.

Have thought about trying these in the past as I like the idea of them .

Was wondering though do they affect string speed or create excess string follow owing to the extra weight on the string and if so are the speed drop and follow only slightly affected ?

Thanks

Having used the finger savers for a bit now I can say that there is no discernible drop in speed as a result of using them. I shoot the same arrows as before with no difference in result. I'm loving the finger savers.
