  • He kinda looks like Green Arrow from DC but older :)

  • @battletoads22 I'm also a beginner archer and i have been shooting at a club for a couple of months. I have never used a finger/thumb sling with the bow i use and have never needed to. So i don't think the sling is strictly necessary. I think the helps if you have a bow like the one in this video with a large stabiliser on the front, which would cause it to fall forwards out of your hand after you loose the arrow. Hope this helps :)

  • @droidwarf Same here, I've never used tabs, gloves or mechanical release aids (or whatever you call those thingamajigs). After lots of practice without protection, the skin in my middle finger got way thicker. TADAA!!! free finger tabs. lol

  • I'm a beginning archer, so excuse this comment if it's ignorant, but would a finger/thumb sling only be necessary if the bow handle is too big for the archer's hand or if the archer is firing a bow with too much weight to it? Meaning, so long as the bow is the proper size, a finger sling isn't needed.

  • @charlieandjackXD It really depends on the type you own. Profanity is unnecessary, just go down to your local shop and ask. It will mark you as new archer, but its better than going without.

  • how the fuck do you put a finger tab on!!!!!!!!! no-where i look shows an easy tutorial on how to do it!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • First time i've shoot a bow i've done it with no glove for 4 hours. My middle finger was starting to look like ET finger.

  • yep. I'm getting mine soon. My coach is gonna supply me with them.

  • nice gear
