This is genious ! Thanks very much for sharing you are very generous. It’s also a joy to watch your form and including some mistakes at the end. Great work !
Thats one of the reasons i love this style of bow, is that perfect arrow flight, along with a thumb release, it all just feels rewarding to see a perfect flight.
Hi there, interesting channel and videos :) As someone that is also into heavy bows, i recently purchased a korean male thumb ring to try on an 85lb korean bow. It's a bit frustrating in the release,because of the big tongue it has it tends to send the arrows to the right - i'm right handed. I was wondering if you could make a short video about good release technique/tips with these rings. Cheers man :)
thank you for the comment. i'm also working on clean release. at the point i'm having about 50:50 chance of clean release. one thing i notice is using back and a small twist motion as release happens. but, again, i'm still working on it. but if i see more improvement and can be able to explain, i'll do so. ^_^;
@@iyoo1 Thanks for the comment, I'll try to experiment with your tip and see if it works for me! And yes, in case of improvement, please make a video about it :) Happy shooting!
Cool idea! But I am wondering whether you are using the original Manchu ring correctly. I believe it should sit on your nuckle rather than below it and you are supposed to keep the thumb more or less straight or at least relaxed rather than actively bending it. This distributes the force better on the thumb and gives you a more comfortable feeling when opening the bow as well as a cleaner release.
thanks for the info. there is not many tutorials or articles i can read about how to use Manchu bow. i'm sure i'm not doing it right. would you able to make a video for others on how to use Manchu ring? especially with heavy bows. :)
@@iyoo1 Yeah, it's really tough to find good information. I also collected all I know (or believe to know) about how to use the Manchu ring piece by piece from different online sources plus lots of trial and error. I am still learning and probably still making too many errors, but I will try to make a video next week. Maybe you can comment then on what you think about it -- that would be much appreciated! I can shoot my 76# Yarha II with the method, which is the heaviest Manchu bow I have at the moment. I am still building up for higher draw weights. Actually, I took much inspiration from your videos -- so many thanks for sharing your archery journey!
@@alexandergebharter1810 that's great to hear. i'd love to see if you could share a video at some point :) at the moment this type of ring helps a lot with heavy bows. will be using this at least next few weeks and see. also, thanks for the kind words. means a lot to me. ^_^
@@iyoo1 OK, I tried to make a video about the Manchu thumb ring. It's not particularly well done (actually I haven't done this before), so sorry for the bad quality. Let me know what you think! --> ruclips.net/video/PRXCaABoqis/видео.html
Made a korean male thumbring a couple of years ago, been my go to ring ever since, its just nice for my thumb strength/pain threshold to not be the limiting factor in draw weight or how long I can shoot for.
i agree. due to heavy bows and thumb being hurt, thmb was the main reason i couldn't shoot more than 2 hours or so. not i can shoot longer with less stress. :)
I just got the yarha 2 from Alibow, its my first heavy weight bow. I'm just using the same leather tab I use for my smaller bow. Right now I'm working on strength before technique, any advice would be welcome.
thank you. hope you like your bow. i love it. ;) i'm focusing a lot on shoulders, back, and release. most of them are same training over and over. it takes time to build up your body so be patient. :)
Excellent breakdown and demonstration. Thoroughly enjoyed the video my friend. Best regards
glad you enjoyed. thank you. :)
This Manchu ring looks amazing
thank you ;)
straight arrow flight makes me feels happy too 😁 it's like some kind of art for me
this is a great idea. Very awesome.

thanks for kind words. still learning. :)
A relic was discovered in korea that suggests koreans used that design
yes, later i found koreans actually used this kind of rings in traditional archery. :)

Great idea. Although it has nothing to do with Manchu rings.
Cool thumb ring. Are they for sale
no. but if you happen to live close i rather make a custom one.
This would be beneficial for me as I have joints problem, even though I shoot a relatively light bow. Any idea when this going to be on sale?
i made this ring for myself. but you can look up 'korean male thumb ring' and can find something like this online. :)
What material did you use for making those manchu claws? Was it polymorh/instamorph?
crystal clear resin. it's two part resin. very durable material.
Wait, the string is behind the ring right? And you still get a clean release with it sticking out like that?
it is a bit difficult to get a clean release. so i twist as i release. that seems to help a little bit. :)
