First attempt at a horn thumb ring

[AngelDeVille]

My Hungarian type bow is set to arrive sometime next week.

I'm hopeful that the leather ring will hold up to the #60 draw on it.

I had taken a half day off work today and my bow showed up just as I was leaving for work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Angel,

Just out of curiosity, how does your accuracy compare between the thumb rings and a glove/tab?  Thanks for posting the video!

Angel...thanks for the lesson on thumb rings. Heard about them before but did not know how they worked. An excellent verbal & video lesson! Very informative! Thanks again.

Well explained.  3 Rivers has a book on the subject, but it's a bit of a snoozer.

I think the release is easier to get cleaner with the thumb draw, but that said I'm noticing and accuracy improvement with my longbow and meditereanean draw. I think it's because I'm concentrating on the target and not the arrow.

I do not know anything about these......so you shoot a left handed bow right handed when you use a thunb ring?

The way you grip the arrow with a thumb draw, it would push the arrow off the rest/shelf if you shot off the left side of the bow, so yes use a lefty bow or a bow without a rest, and shoot off your hand.

Sounds like it has the same benefit of the 3-Under or Apache Grip. Should get a Smooth as Silk release with those bad boys!
