Shot fingers for many years. Always looked for a bow with at least 36" axle to axle. Always shot near max lbs....just under 80lb......and did quite good.
Always did the 1 up 2 below, but you really have to watch the pinch.
Even my current (diamond victory)bow I shot with fingers......the 80% let off and 70lbs and zero creep backwall changed that after I let a few go (every year) while still coming down onto target. It just suprises the hell out of you and when it comes on, it's gone from your fingers. But the plus side is that there is no time to pluck when your ready....almost seems as if the thought ( but actually just a slight move forward) was enough to send the arrow.
Not sure why any distance would matter for fingers.....other than ability to shoot. It takes fair bit of practice to work out the problems in form. Spent every evening shooting a 100 arrows till I got to a level I liked.
I always shot fingers against my friends with triggers for beers out to 80 yards. Some days I drank, somedays I bought.
