A question about upgrading....?

[MartinHunter]

I am in a bit of a dilemma. I use to shoot my bow a lot, and was very confident in my shooting ability. I have always shot fingers, and though I was never able to shoot with the best of the release shooters I felt comfortable enough to shoot and hunt out to 50 yards. Now that I am doing the working man adult thing with kids I am unable to shoot as often and am therefore less confident in my abilities. I am hesitant about changing what I am used to. It seems as though everyone is upgrading their gear, my cousin switched to a release and it has improved his shooting a lot. He also just bought a drop away rest, which the experts tell him will do more. My question is basically will switching my style help my abilities and confidence? Is a new sight, drop away rest, and release going to help? Any thought will help.

I used to shoot just fingers as well. About five years ago I switched to a new setup, new bow, new release, drop away rest. My shooting ability increased unbelievably. I would tell anyone to shoot a release with a drop away rest. The nice thing about this setup is the price for rests and releases keeps dropping every year. Go to a good bow shop and they probably have bows and different setups you can shoot, to see what you like the most. Good luck
