The Manchu style ring looks as though the string pressure is pulling straight off the large knuckle of the thumb, whereas with rings that require bending the thumb and placing the fore finger over the thumbnail puts the pressure more on the first thumb joint or divided between the two. Am I correct on this, or no, and if correct, which is the stronger method? As of now I have never used a thumb ring. Just trying to determine which way to start.

In fact, .... click on "Thumb Rings" topic above.

If you have tuned your bow/arrow set-up and have adjusted your brace height by shortening or lengthening (twisting or untwisting) your string, then YES you need to take measures to keep the string as it is. What I do, if I remove the string, is clamp/tie, (whatever) the loops together so the string does not become twisted more, or less than what you have tuned it to.

Would be interested if this bow is still for sale ...... and the price.              Will

warongt: I would be interested in a review of your bow when you get it. It is on my list to purchase. 

John, you described my shoulder pain to a T. I've been putting off seeing a doctor for about three months now .............. I think it's time, since the pain isn't getting any better. Thank you for the post. Will

Looking forward to this!

Another thing to consider is, these bows do not "physically" seem to be drawing as heavy as they really are, so the "perceptable" draw weight feels lighter.  IMHO, a 40# bow woud be just right ( it is what I would choose for myself anyway) 

Good move Thomas.   

Not normal, try taking off everything on the ends of your bow so you can see the nocks clearly. Check for rough and /or
irregular spots in the groove of the nocks. If so , smooth the grooves with round files or sandpaper. That would be the first thing
I would look at.   

Have never used them, but they have excellent reviews, and I base a lot of my purchases on the reviews.
