How to Make a Simple Archer's Thumb Ring With PVC Pipe

I've had some requests to make a thumb ring tutorial, so here's a pretty quick and simple method I came up with to make a great practice thumb ring. It completely protects the pad of the thumb while still offering a smooth release.
It's not the best or only way to make a thumb ring, but it's a simple way to build a thumbring that fits your thumb perfectly. Your thumb will tend to change in size, getting thicker as you practice the thumb draw and it will get larger or smaller depending on temperatures, humidity and your diet. With PVC, you can either resize your ring with heat or make a few in different sizes. Another option would be to make the ring a little oversized and use a pad of leather to fill the gaps.
Like I said, it's pretty quick. Once you get the hang of it, you can probably do about 6-10 per hour if you ever wanted to.
Thanks for watching and enjoy!

Nick - You inspired me! No PVC pipe, but plenty of… SODA BOTTLES! I cut off the threaded section, sanded out the hole to fit my 25mm thumb, and cut the bottle down to cover my thumb. The lip on the bottle’s neck grabs the string and the smaller lip prevents pinching. 👌🏻 You da man!! 😎 Ahhh… RU-vid won’t let me post photos! 😖 Anyway, thanks for the inspiration!

It's also possible to make a Manchu-style thumb ring. You will need a ring sizing mandrel to stretch it out to size. It will be thinner than most shallow hook rings, but still works.

When you're holding the arrow during the draw, do you press your draw-hand-index finger against the arrow? I find that when I do it, my index presses against the arrow and actually bending it when I draw.
@BackyardBowyer
@BackyardBowyer 9 лет назад
Archer Bunta I do press the arrow lightly but the trick is to keep the pressure light. A little flex in the arrow is fine, but if the arrow his bending hard that could give you problems.

Even better still; a durable plastic spoon would work wonders. The ring provides only the function of protection, and I've seen people make archer's thumb rings out of spoons before (they're shaped about the same) so with the right spoon, the bowl should work just fine with a hole drilled and maybe the right putty to shape the hole, or, like your idea, use the lighter.

@dewfew1
@dewfew1 11 лет назад
Hi Nick, enjoyed your video very much. I like this idea of a thumb ring, something very old but very new to me. Anyway I do have a question for you, you mention if you are a right handed shooter you place the arrow on the right side of the riser. What happens if you shoot the arrow on the left side of the riser? As I have a take down bow that has a large offset where the arrow rests. Wanted to ask before I tried. Thank you Very respectfully ddholcomb

@Hopfolk 11 лет назад
One of the re-usable picnic spoons may work well for that but it's got to be sift enough not to shatter... I did try the flexible black plastic of a CDR container - (the base of the cylindrical box they come in) but it shattered on arrow release. tbh I am using my 45# bow without a thumbring atm and getting used to it.
@anthonywells733
@anthonywells733 3 года назад
What draw weight are the bows you shoot with those rings
@Hopfolk
@Hopfolk 11 лет назад
Your video inspired me though I think I may have found an even simpler solution. Find an HDPE / PVC plastic bottle where your thumb just fits tightly into the neck. Take some strong scissors and cut the shoulder off the bottle then shape what's left into a single thumb-spoon plys the bottle neck. Cut down the neck until it's a ring, then use a lighter to ovalise. voila :-)
@Alyxandeyr
@Alyxandeyr 11 лет назад
The big thing with the mongolian draw (using your thumb to pull the arrow, and firing like you're flipping a quarter) is that the string twist is reversed, so when the arrow is released, it rides on the side of the bow closest to the hand that shot it. Ultimately what this would mean for firing from the left side (if you chose to still use your right hand) is that the arrow would travel further left of where it would normally fly, and may be unpredictable.

So I'm wondering could you use a thumb ring for a higher powered bow? I'm using 50-60 lb recurve and longbows and I wanna know if a thumb ring can take the weight
@lonewolf8820
@lonewolf8820 8 лет назад
it can withstand the force, off is really strong stuff. But you may have to make adjustments to make it more comfortable.
@Paperminte
@Paperminte 8 лет назад
+Joshua Fernando Oh awesome. Thanks for the info. I'm probably gonna make one out of horn if that's the case. I just thought for some reason they were only meant for lower powered bows. Like, 40 lbs at most.
@paperaxes4192
@paperaxes4192 6 лет назад
A lot of competition horse bows (which are shot via thumb rings typically) are lighter weight, but historical records show thumb rings were used with bows over 90 pounds, capable of piercing armor. They probably weren't PVC, but this will get you started for a couple bucks. ;-)

One thing I do not understand. If I pull the bow without the ring it hurts a bit, and it would blister over time. But when I pull the bow with the thumbing it really hurts. The thumb ring seems to be doing the opposite of what it is supposed to. Have any idea how to fix it? What part of the ring is putting for force on the thumb. Is it the ring section, or the section on top of the thumb's pad?

@peoplephobic
@peoplephobic 9 лет назад
I will have to try this. I find the commercial resin thumb rings to be too thick and they can force my index finger into the arrow's fletchings and can knock the arrow off the string. Also, when you attempt to sand or resize them the fumes they give off are terribly aggravating.
