Ridiculous, lol! I learned from my pop, and we use no sights or release. Draw back to the same spot every time—I put my thumb to my cheek—look at your target, hold her steady, let the string slip from your fingers.

Yes and no. The article is discussing compound bow shooting, which uses a release mechanism. The commenter here is discussing a traditional/recurve bow which uses your fingers. The proper way to shoot a recurve bow is to have a consistent release point. You never draw and hold a traditional bow like you see in movies or video games. You release once you touch that release point, or start over.

Right, but they're saying it's ridiculous, which it isn't as the pros know what they're doing.

Letting the string slip is a surprise release mechanism!

It's the standard method for people who finger-shoot. If you try to open your fingers you'll tend to snap at the string, thereby jostling the arrow as it releases and it won't fly straight.
