Saw this on Great Northern's site, how are you gripping the string ?

I've seen pictures of Ishi holding the string that way.
Isn't that a thumb ring?
Saw that too. Can't figure it out.
yes it is a thumb ring.
Hard to tell Pinch grip or thumb ring but one of the two
He uses a thumb ring with his index finger wrapped around his thumb nail. He also uses a glove with a leather tab instead of the ring. He uses that for hunting as it is much quieter.
Ishi used a thumb ring grip I read that in Saxon Pope's book this weekend while sitting in the deer stand. Very interesting.
That was how I learned to shoot, and while I can shoot all major grips, thumb or pinch is how I always shoot. Either thumb ring or full-fingered glove. I always get the best results that way.
