Why do some traditional archers use a thumb ring instead of shooting with their fingers? Thumb rings are commonly used in many Eastern archery traditions, including Turkish, Mongolian, Korean, and Manchu styles. Using the thumb draw can provide a secure grip on the string and allow for smooth releases, especially when shooting short horse bows. Many archers also find the technique comfortable for higher draw weights once they become accustomed to it.
