My brass thumb ring wasn't comfortable for prolonged use at 45# plus bows so after watching your new ring I had a go and made my own out of wood and a leather tightening strap...😃 Unbelievably comfortable and crisp release. Thank you 🙏

Thanks for the great review! I personally think these are the most comfortable ring we offer, just so much area across which the force is distributed. Definitely takes some getting used to though. It is worth noting we tweaked the size of these to work with a tapered leather tab or wedge and that is "built in" so anyone who orders one doesn't need to request a different size to accommodate leather.

Hi Armin, thanks for the video. Might i suggest using a bow that draws farther back, as you would using a korean bow. Youre drawing 3-4 inches less than you should, i think that will change how the ring feels!

Thank you Armin for your nice video. I got one last year and I had no clue how to use it ... I tried a few times in different ways and it just flied off my finger or it interfered with the string. Now I would like to practice with it again and this video helps a lot. I think this is the only video available that explains how to use this particular type of thumb ring, in English.

I’ll have to check it out looks like it would be good with high poundage bows

My segye bow from alibow isnt here yet either. I just had my second back surgery yesterday so I'm down for 6 weeks minimum. So Armin keep those videos coming. Its about the only way i can get my archery fix. :)

if you have a 3d printer, there is a Sugakji ring on thingiverse (just to test before buying this BEAUTY) i love to shoot this rings! sometimes i shoot my hungarian ring till my thumb hurts, then i switch to the sugakji

It is even more useful when shooting powerful bows. To fix the arrow, the releasing wrist should twist slightly. > That's a trick. But it is not an item for horseback riding. :)

I recommend you to try Peon Jeon or Aegisal(baby arrow) with Tong ah.

I could see where using the middle finger would be easier. I've never tried a thumb ring before. I'll have to try that

cool ring 👍 i am a thumb ring user but my thumb ring has different shape. may be i would try this shape of thumb ring in the future.

That seems like a powerful aid :-), awaiting the Ali Bow Korean bow review :-)

The lever itself should imitate the shape of a thumb for maximum result. There should be an offset angle to accommodate the different length of index, and middle finger joints for a straight pull. That's why it feels uneven when you put both fingers on, and you felt better with just middle finger on it. You can make adjustments to anything, but the goal should be to make it as close as possible to your female thumb ring, or bare finger so you wouldn't have to make big adjustments going back and forth. You can achieve the desired angle either by adjusting your ring, or by making a ring with an offset built on it.

Ok I definitely want one of these bad

Its clearly adding a lag to the release, dragging the string even after you have released it

Ya thaght's right I'm Attacking all your Old Video's tonight. Just like You, I have Over worked Both Shoulders, my Back, Right Thumb, My Right Pointer finger at the First knuckle in the hand, where I twist the String/Arrow, & my left thumb 30 min ago was Superglued to a scrap of Leather making Thumb Ring. The Glue thing just sent me over the Edge. Looking for a nice fitted, Comfortable thumb ring, So I'm open to any Suggestions I can Get. No worry about something not working out. Because It's all Hit and Miss at this Stage. So Fire Away. The 2 Bow's I have are the Qinghai 40 lbs @ 28" & 52 lbs @ 33" / The Segye 45 lbs at full

Cool, always fascinating what different tools other cultures use for archery :)

Is there any noticeable loss of velocity with the ring? Seems like that big tongue would have a lot of drag on the string.

This type of ring can make you understand and correct the proper position of the forearm when you draw, at least for me. If you rotate the forearm and/or wrist even a little bit it punishes you ;)

Hello Armin :) thanks for all the god info you provide ! I am from Norway, and have just started my archery life 🏹 where can i get a reasonebly priced takedown bow, about 35 pound ?

What material its made off

Is that the Living Arrow asymmetrical bow you’re using? Guess you really like it then

So I've been looking into Custom Thumb Ring Archery, and was wondering if it's worth it to buy their thumb ring sizer, or if using calipers is enough? I had already used calipers for one of my Vermil rings, and it fits pretty well after sanding to a proper fit for me. Also, I can't remember if you reviewed this company's Manchu thumb ring, or if it was Vermil's, but would you say it is particularly helpful for a Manchu style draw, or is any thumb ring good enough? Additionally, have you ever strained/sprained your thumb? I had done so while moving back home, and was wondering how I should be taking care of it beyond a compression bandage and ice packs?

Thanks for posting, Armin! Relating to other traditional archery devices, do you find that the 'proper' thumbrings make speed shoothing a bit more challenging? I notice that when you do thumb release you usually go barehanded.

It certainly is interesting. Does it make the string feel slippery when you draw Armin?

Hi in my country live lot of amazing bowyers maybe you could try their bows in the future. Think about that i can give you information

Greetings. I generally got some problems when shooting with "solid" thumb rings, indeed, when I shoot lots of arrows it becomes painful with powerful bows han bows (60 - 80 and 100 LBS). That's why I prefer to use a leather thumb ring, this way, I can shoot 100 - 200 arrows a day with that poundages and with (almost) not pain at the end. So, my question is : Do you think this kind of Korean thumb ring can be useful to practice on high poundage bow without pain ? Thank you by advance for responding !

Does the ring feel secure and not wanting to slip out when you are drawing a bow, without having to clinch with your thumb?

How long is the lip/bulge/"male part" of the ring?

You must learn from korean archers

Wrong tehnik and wrong bow must shoot with korean bow
