To all of those who wrote me personally to tell what jerk I am, I have one thing to say. Do you understand sarcasm?
I have profound respect for Korean archers - the best in the world!

hi wonder if you can help, when i tried to use horn thumbring on my bow( i am a complete begginer to this archery style) when i try to draw the arrow back it wants to slip off my hand thats holding the bow and point at almost 45 degrees away from the target.it just doesnt want to stay straight!!! i am right handed but it happens wither i knock the arrow on the left or right side of the grip

i got a 50# mongolian bow, and am kinda struggling with it (i have a hurt shoulder).
but once it heals, i am gonna use my thumb ring to shoot it. before i was just using 3 fingers

Nice, but you could have added some traditional korean music too instead of Dvořák :)

very interesting. im a decent shot with a longbow, but i could never get the hang of the thumbring.
broofer666--If you are right-handed, the arrow will go on the right side of the bow (opposite for LH). The index finger of your draw hand will push the arrow into the bow and it will not fall--even if you cant upside down.

Interesting anchor point, wont he get fletching nicks and cuts?

No problem, as the fletching is low-profile pheasant.

It's a release aid used to protect the thumb while drawing the bowstring.
