Would this improve the shot, regardless of how authentic it is?

Re: What if bows had a index ring on top of the grip like a rapier hilt?

Perhaps try it ?
Albeit I doubt it's usefulness.
I am rather inclined to the Gao Ying or Manchu style lately, which has the index finger detached from the grip, pointing towards the target.

What if bows had a index ring on top of the grip like a rapier hilt?

Might it be that the main purpose of this ring is mainly changing/reversing the direction of the stabbing motion ?
Or avoiding dropping the weapon thereby ?
