I've been curious about using a thumb ring, but not enough to try it yet. OP, please keep this thread going as you progress. I suspect a fair number of us are interested in how it works out.

With fingers I pull 27" and thumb 29". With my current Korean horsebow, it adds between 10 and 15 fps to my shot depending on how clean my release is.

Thanks for the info. The extra performance is why I'm asking, a longer draw is a huge advantage in increasing performance. If you can work out shooting with the thumb ring that's a free 2" of extra draw.

Wow. There is almost no paradox at all with the torque applied. It shot about as clean as a modern Olympic bow that is fully center cut.
