RE: Korean Traditional Recurve - Hunting
 

Hi. I'll be glad to help you in any way I can. You might like to look a bit at my website: Korean Archeryas there is lots of info on shooting the bows. Particularly, you might like to look at Thumb Ring Shootingfor shooting with a thumb ring. However, the bows can be shot with fingers, too. Please feel free to contact me at [email protected]

P.S. 'errr, what's a 'Gozer'? (I'm afraid to ask)

Gozer the Destructor (think Ghost Busters..)

Razorhead started it. :D Speaking of Razorhead, welcome to the board JL, you behave yourself now.

Thomas, I've been playing with that horn thumbring you sent me. I have fun shooting my nephew's 20lb bow with it. I can't yet bring myself to try a higher poundage bow with the thumbring. (scared I'm gonna tear off my thumb or accidently release too soon) BTW, how tight should the thumbring be?

Thanks!

Ah, Ghostbusters--now I know.

Don't worry about shooting with the t-ring, but gradually build up your confidence. The ring should go on fairly easily (perpendicular to the bend in the thumb's knuckle). Then, once you twist it on 90 degrees, it should not easily pull off the knuckle, but still should be able to rotate on the thumb without too much difficulty.
