MaceG:
Sorry about the pic quality but I was using a camera phone.

Hook the string in the crook of your thumb

Press your thumb tip against your middle finger

Fold your index finger over your thumbnail


And check this forum out. You can learn alot there about shooting with your thumb.

Hope this helps.

When using a thumb ring, the arrow goes on the right side of the bow.

MaceG:
Sorry, forget to post the link. The forum I was referring to is ATARNet. Here's a link to the technique section:

i use a thumb ring quite regular ,here is some footage of me shooting with one quite a while ago now.

i think they are great.

the trick is, every thumbring MUST be tailored to fit you and you alone , otherwise it will always be uncomftable and hurt .

and you do shoot your arrows from the other side of the bow as you can see from the vid.  (archers paradox and all that)  ;)

MaceG:
Are you having to adjust it before every shot?
