I've been shooting my 07 commander 60# with fingers for around 3- 4 months, have the same DL as you.
I use a cavalier smart tab with cordovan, draw split fingers and drop the bottom finger, with the top finger just touching the string with a little pressure. Works well and I get good consistent clean releases.
No finger pinch.
But you will need to drop the let off to 65%. I never could get good consistency with 80%.
In the beginning I messed around with building a new one piece grip ,shot it ok for a while then started getting the odd LR misses. Tried a Jager grip, started out well and then had the same issues.
Now I'm back using the original side plates, I can feel my life line on my bow hand a lot better now with it (couldn't seem to find the spot before)
I had to try new grips to realize the original side plates are the best.
Don't ask me why I experimented, perhaps it was to see if a medium or high grip would work better..... nah, for me low grip works the best.
but at least now I know, when things aren't going well with accuracy, it's me and not anything else.
You'll have a lot of fun shooting this bow with fingers, and probably find you'll shoot it very accurately providing you can get a good clean release and everything is timed and tuned well.
Let us know how you get on.
But I'm sure you have good fun.:darkbeer:
