Am I allowed to shoot 3 under in World Archery's Instinctive Bow Division?
I'm currently thinking about switching to three under (3 fingers under the arrow knock when releasing). I ordered a new bow and wanted to take this as a chance to change or try out a few things.
However, I want my new setup to be compliant for the Instinctive Bow Division of World Archery. Am I allowed to shoot three under there?

According to the rulebook, you can either shoot with one finger above or all below but not both.
The bow must be shot using the "Mediterranean" loose (one finger above the arrow nock) or fingers directly below the arrow nock (index finger no more than 2 mm below nock), with one fixed anchor point. The athlete must choose either Mediterranean or fingers under nock, but may not use both. Finger protection when shooting with fingers under the nock must have a continuous surface or connected surface, with no ability to shoot split finger. When using the Mediterranean loose a separator between the fingers to prevent pinching the arrow may be used.
