Help with finger shooting a short axle-axle compound bow?

I am currently using a Fred Bear Game Over and I have tried a release and finger shooting.I much prefer to use my fingers, but I am a little worried about the extreme angle of the bow string when I draw back.I use 2 fingers under my arrow when i draw and because of the high angle the string is on at full draw because of the short axle length, it looks although my arrows might be slightly un-nocking.Should I be using a different technique (eg. one finger above and one underneath the arrow) or is the way I‘m doing it fine?I‘m asking because I dont want to cause damage to my bow from my arrows not nocking properly on the string.

Here is the problem you are having. Today's short axle compounds are not designed for fingers.And the sooner you find that out and go to a release the better off you will be. I grew up shooting fingers. I dearly love the feel of a bow drawing it back with my fingers.But after a lifetime of finger shooting 3 years ago I finally gave up and went to the hated release. It had become impossible to get good broad head flight under hunting conditions when I was drawing the bow back with my fingers. It was hard to make the changeover because I had shot fingers so long. But as soon as I got accustomed to it, my groups tightened up tremendously and my problems with broad head flight was over with. My last 12 bow shots were one shot kills and hit the same spot I was aiming at on each deer. It took me many bad hits and a few total misses to finally convince me to go to the release and give up on the finger shooting.Now it is time for you to make your decision. You at some point are going to have to go to a release. I suggest you do it now before your frustrations and dry fires get the best of you and your bow.Believe me, I know how you feel about shooting fingers. But until a bow hits the market again at 42 plus inches axel to axel, finger shooting is a thing of the past.
