Thank you SO MUCH for these inspirational and educational videos. I have been shooting traditional archery for 2.5 months now and I have yet to really put time into using a thumb release. I have a Kassai "Hunter" at #50 of draw weight and can pull it without stress using my fingers - however, using the thumb-ring is quite a challenge. Your videos have clearly pointed me in the right direction! Thanks again!

SkandranonOwens: Didn't hear anything... Do you mean my little speech at the end?

[SkandranonOwens]

sounds like a kettle is going off in the summary.

@KNIBDUL79 Sorry for the delay in replying: having the air in the bottom of the lung cavity still allows transpiration of oxygen while not causing tension with the muscles used in the draw.

thanks You !!!!

please explain why we should move the air from chest to stomach when stringing?

Is it nessesry to stabilizing the body?
