Which Thumb Ring is best for String Twist? Archery Research

[@gizmonomono]

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 😊

Where can I watch that movie?

[@gizmonomono]

@@kevinmaughan9445 Well...legally? I don't know. So, torrent I guess 😁 It's not on Netflix, I checked.

Love the “Energy” sign on the shed door!

[@tammynfletcher]

Thanks again for the tutorial I am completely humbled by your opinion of my ring design! Like I said before not to bad for a guy who just started shooting thumb release a little over a year ago. Thank you my friend!

[@ArminHirmer]

I thank you

[@markmendoza7459]

If didn't watch you today ,I wouldn't have none what thumb ring to use ,I have a leather ring but I ordered copper ring ,I guess you have to try them all to find out witch is best thank you again

[@bobjackson3307]

Fun Video Armin, I like the the Ring with the Leather. The one I hate the most: is the one I built out of PVC pipe & Duct Tape last week. Ouch!! Great Video!!

[@miguelveratraditionalarche9374]

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!👊😀

[@ivanmoser3367]

It's always good to see you shoot. I have practiced something with my Alibow Fiberglass Tatar. Yes I've am starting to use twist. if it works I can finally see the arrow straight on my phone camera. I have to keep practicing. Thanks.

Armin Hirmer: Lord of the (thumb) Rings. Great video. Now I know what to look for. Thanks.

[@pwaterdu]

Thank you master Armin that was quite a good and fair comparison..kinda thought the leather would score high as it closest to bare thumb? Not sure just seems more intuitive somehow..Excellant vid as always!

[@AlkahfiArchery]

it's been a long time since I saw your video post. I miss the way you talk. 😁 Nice see you again.

[@ludusferocia8696]

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.

[@ArminHirmer]

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

[@marlonwalt8849]

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.

[@ArminHirmer]

don't do too much, as Mguel from Puerto Rico said: you need to find the sweet spot :)

[@thorarnekonradsen3000]

Thank you for very good tips for choosing a thumbring! I would very much like to know what bow you use. The one with the thin string, lovely sound from it!

[@ArminHirmer]

Chu spring autumn by Alibow

[@OysteinJ2]

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

[@bigernbladesmith]

I've noticed ,since I been practicing bare thumb shooting, that the tendon in the inner thumb between the first and second joint is getting thicker. Is that normal? It does not hurt.

[@ArminHirmer]

Yes normal :)

[@f.h.6997]

Thumb rings up for this video. I have the Ali Bow ring, and try it since a while.but still feel insecure with it. But I do not give up.

[@PXCharon]

There must be something I don't understand about the spur ring. It's purpose is to lift the arrow off the bow? Would it be possible to show a close up of the draw technique for this ring?

[@ArminHirmer]

I did a video about the spur ring, simply check it out. thank you

[@theezZENtials]

hi, please honest question.. what is the purpose of string twist? I 1st saw this in "war of the arrows"(awesome bow movie) and it seemed like the guy used it to curve arrows(shoot around objects). not sure, a google search didnt show nothing

[@ArminHirmer]

Better release and straight arrow fligth

[@theezZENtials]

@@ArminHirmer ok, thanks for responding

Hi Armin. Is the 40# 32inch bow an Imperial Khesig?

[@justneedductape5093]

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.

[@tobiasebastiantempella9792]

Is the crabby bow comparable with the nomad horsebow (first horsebow)? I mean I prefer the look of the nomad horsebow with that wood, but I don't know if it is as good. Thanks for the answer!

[@ArminHirmer]

Yes

[@UTxTheArchangel]

Thinking about getting a new ring, my brass one originally was fine when I was shooting a 35lb Turkish bow. But with my 40lb Kheshig is has gotten uncomfortable. This is where I ask for your advice on what would you consider a comfortable thumb ring?

[@ArminHirmer]

For me right now the leather ring from Bekir, did a video and when my thumb is small enough the bozhur from Nomadicartsarchery did video too

[@slowdancer5563]

Come on aaarrchers, lets do the twist!

[@okcubekir4782]

Hı Armin good video. Thank's.

[@michaelprecourt4943]

i know it not the right place to ask ...where can i find book about middle east bow building

[@dcj002]

Where can i get the leather thumb ring please? Thanks

[@msrvfx]

Who makes the Indian thumb ring you liked?

[@alanbeaulier5783]

What is the purpose of string twist. Thank you.

[@ArminHirmer]

I did a video about that, go check it out :)

[@jamesfletcher2101]

How much twist do you put on the bowstring?

[@ArminHirmer]

a bit, you need to find what works for you. once you have it you know it

[@yahyazeb918]

I ordered a thumb ring

[@rosehep3301]

Ignore me. I didn't watch the whole video before asking a question. 15:30

[@robsarchery9679]

I have to learn the string twist first.

Dear @Armin, thank you for the information and good review. I really enjoy watching you shoot a bow and arrows. In your opinion, what does string twisting do? I hope this is not a silly question to you. Thanks in advance.

[@ArminHirmer]

watch my videos :)
