My shooting technique!
Urufu_Shinjiro:
I've shot traditional for some time, both when I was younger and as an adult, then I took a long break from archery and when I came back to it I started with thumb ring and asiatic bows. I too much prefer this type of archery, feels much more the martial art to me and shooting in a historic recreation society that is the angle at which I approach archery, as a martial skill. I shoot kind of a combination of turkish and manchu styles.

Do you mind touching on those differences? I have been tossing the idea around of buying a thumb ring and trying it.
Knotty:
That's kinda what I always thought, it just makes archery alot more interesting when adding history and cultures to it.

Lumberman:
It's hard for me to imagine rotating the wrist upon release to be good practice.. How does that not rotate the whole bow including tips and thus move the string? I've never tried anything else besides the two under one over approach so I guess I should look into it
Knotty:
Rotating the wrist , removes the whole bow from the string's way without preventing the power from being released unto the arrow,
Leaving the arrow with a straight trajectory.
I don't know if that makes it understandable?
