Thank you for this insightful video. I ordered a set of 3 manchu ring from Custom Archery. Unfortunately, they tend to get slippery after 10 minutes no matter which size I use due to the sweating around my thumb. I will give a try to antler rings as they seem good to catch moisturing.
Very nice to see such variety in materials, decoration and shape. Having played around with manchu rings a bit myself I always loved the concave shaped ones!
Thank you got your comment! I would recommend you first trying out rings from CT or Vermil to verify your 'perfect fit', and then move on to an antler thumb ring :) Have fun!
@@solhoibaturu I have made some wood ones myself, and I'm also trying some 3D printed my brother has made although not a big fan of plastic. For me a real one is definitely antler or bone.
@@mrln247 Based on my very limited experience, I think the whole gist of this type of ring is figuring out how to prevent the sweat from building up as you use it, which is a problem that antler with large belt of blood vessel solves.
@@solhoibaturu I had not even considered ventilation before you mentioned it, I was interested in the texture for some grip, but it makes a lot of sense. With sizing I'm sure part of the process is to draw enough to size your thumb to a cylindrical ring with developing the correct callouses. Being always on a budget I have bought some Red deer antler from a pet shop and think I can get a blank out of it to try a ring. However if you have a contact I may well be asking after a ring in the near future.
