Topic: A newbie has a question on a thumb ring

Hello,

I am little confused using a Korean thumb ring. I ordered it from koreabow.com with Kaya KTB bow.
Now, my question is, where do I hook the string on the thumb ring?

Please look at the picture and give me advice.

Do I hook at the white arrow mark? or black arrow mark?
I tried both, and if I hooked a string at the edge of the ring, my thumb hurts more than when it hooked on the black arrow part.

Black. Don't pay too much attention to Turkish/Persian/Mughal way of shooting, they have slightly different thumb rings that allow you to shoot from the 'white' spot

Re: A newbie has a question on a thumb ring

Thank you very much for the replies.  When I got my ring, I automatically thought that the string goes into the grove.  Then I started to watching youtube, searching internet for Korean archery, I got information of other Asian archery.  Then I got confused of using the thumb ring.

Now I need to practice in the right way!! smile
