If you were my son I would not have left you quit shooting and told you suck it up !
Since you have and others have warned you against trying again (safety is not my strong point)
I will now tell you to start making your own arrow shafts and build pinch nocks into them . Then you can use a pinch draw !
I do not like gloves or tabs or junk that gets in the way or lets me down !

I agree I started using pinch grip and I like it.  If my fingers start getting sore I stop shooting for a little bit and let it rest.  Then again, I'm not using really thin dacron strings either.

If you are having finger problems even after using a glove, you are not gripping the string correctly.Google a deep hook grip and practice with it and you problem will disappear. I had the exact same problem as you until I did so and now I don't have a single blister.

Thanks!
I will be making a tab though.

Good job on that tab richardzane.  Made a few myself, just have to get the proper grade leather.
