Finger Slings ? Whats the story ...

I see them used a lot at upper level shooting events and on videos of shooters from Olympic, Spots , Field

Is it just about retaining the Bow ?
Are they driving grip consistency with the tension of the sling ?
Is there an Advantage to Target shooting and 3D over a traditional sling ?

Looking for theory, philosophy, methods, pros, cons

I use one on my target bow cause I don't like a wrist sling. To me it's more about knowing my bow is not going to hit the ground.

It isn't due to anything with addressing a grip issue. The explanation to me was more along the lines of a different method to prevent the same thing...bow hitting the dirt.


The only con to them, that I have heard: you're stuck to the bow/and become one handed.
