    First of all, shallow hooker... That made my day 😂 From what I understand of string twist, the reason why the arrow flight is straight is because you bend the arrow into the bow slightly. And upon release it straightenes just enough that it doesn't touch the bow. At least this is what I heard about it. Personally I don't do it yet, but I intend to do so eventually. I'm not a fan of thumb rings, but these minimalistic ones look pretty nice. I was surprised by the shallow hook though. I thought the string would slip off the ring before you had time to bend it. Interesting. And speaking of string twist, I re watched War of the arrows just two days ago. Such a good movie. For anyone who hasn't seen it, I highly recommend it. Awesome video as always. Thank you 😊

    Hi! Mr. Armin.😀 Great Info. Apparently it can be done with almost all rings, it depends on how comfortable the ring is on the thumb. Nice.!! When I use my leather protection I have had no problems. But obviously I had to practice and find that essential point. Depends on the Bow, good!! in which I have. And the bare thumb is better. Well I learned it from you. Cheers!👊😀

    First of all I`would like to say I`m very inspired by your videos, shooting and general good attitude:-) And then I`ve got a question you might have heard a thousand times before. How do you use the Manchu ring without it falling off during th release? I`ve made a ring myself that gets ripped off my thumb every time i shoot it. Now, most likely I`ve designed it wrong, or my technique is off, but I still wonder why a sylindrical ring stays on:-) Sorry if the question is stupid. Sincerely Øystein

    Thanks for your video. It is very difficult to do the twist and hit target. I only know of a Mr. from Puerto Rico, who seems to work that twist. Everyone at the ranch has tried it and the arrow goes out in the right direction. I admit it I'm hard to learn. I must have more patience. Thanks.

    Hi another question Armin! For my advanced Yuan bow (from alibow) in 55-60lbs, do you think the Alibow shallow hook or the Leather ring you showed here would work better? I plan on practicing on a lighter bow in the future from Alibow but my spur ring hurts quite a bit when I use it.

    In this poundage you need a ring which fits perfectly otherwise it always will be painful. I am not sure if leather will do the job long term

    I tend to nock with left thumb assists, but upon release, I remove the thumb completely to ensure some clearance. I don't know am I doing enough string twist, but it is enough to keep the arrow on the bow without moving up or down when pull. I see some comment on the Korean bow movie, I am not sure if we twist string that much though.
