Handmade from water buffalo horn in the traditional "teardrop" design. Features a dip at the ridge where your thumb and bow string meet to keep skin from pinching against the thumb ring
Thumb rings or thumbrings, are used to shoot bows in the Mongolian style and to provide protection to the thumb in the same way a shooting glove or tab protects your fingers. Shooting with a thumb ring will provides a cleaner release than shooting with fingers, due to the minimal contact with the bow string.
Available in Small (2½"), Medium (2¾"), Large (3"), and X-Large (3-1/8"). Please specify circumference of thumb at the knuckle. Imported.
How does a Thumb Ring work? The thumb ring sits just below the middle knuckle on your shooting thumb. Curl your thumb around the bow string and allow the arrow nock to be just above the thumb ring. Use your index finger to keep your thumb tip in place during the drawing of the arrow. To release, relax your thumb and index finger.
Sizing: Be sure to order so your thumb ring fits snuggly right below the middle knuckle of your thumb. If it fits too loosely it will slide around, causing poor arrow flight and even injury your thumb. If the thumb ring is too tight it will cause blisters and bruising of the thumb.
Shooting: Using a thumb ring requires you shoot of the opposite side of the bow's riser than what you do with a fingers release. Recommend shooting with a Horse bow, or a left handed longbow/recurve (if right handed shooter - pulling bow string with right hand).
