I got on, hoping I would find a new one from you and... Yaaay! Very informative. I only have 1 metal ring (I think it's the same you have that requires the sting/strap and is too big) and a leather protector. Having a comparison like this definitely helps in the decision-making process of purchasing a new ring. So, thanks so much for that! I'm glad I'm not the only one with the callous from string twist 😅. Thought about getting or making a protector for index finger. I made one without a strap, but it takes readjusting to not fall off or gets kinda stuck if my hand sweats (almost always does). I also just enjoy feeling as much as possible. I would shoot without a ring if I wasn't getting nerve damage. Name of the game, I guess. Thanks for the video, sir! It's always nice seeing you enjoy shooting in your archery garden. God bless, brother!
@@matthewvassar9686 I got given the hand protector by Ace Archery as a freebie when I bought the Cheonjigung. I wasn't sure what it was at first, but figured it out. It's too small for my index finger, so i don't use it. I must find a way of stretching the leather a bit to make it fit. Saying that, the string contact, burns and dries the skin a little but it's not painful.
Korean Female ring is an interesting ring design I haven't seen much of. I do think where you can using the rings that are traditional for a particular bow/archery style makes sense since they evolved together as a system. Makes sense they are likely to group slightly differently, I haven't tried the different rings same bow.
@@mrln247 The Daylite amgakji looks a bit different to other Korean female rings I've seen. But there is a lot of variety and designs. I agree that the rings evolved with the style.
@@agamagreen I have to say the brass ones have not let me down so far. The amgakji seemed not to like the 78# Cheonjigung. I'm a bit shy of the sutgakji, especially if I am shooting a lot, as my thumb is likely to shrink and risk it slipping off. Yes I'd like to try a shallow hook at some point. Not come across one so far. Also curious about Manchu rings.
Been watching for a few weeks, so I decided to subscribe. I have a sugakji from Custom Thumb Rings, and find it feels wonderfully secure, especially for KTBs over 40lb. @ 28 inches. My current go-to rings are the Chinese Spur model from Custom Thumb Rings. I also have a Southeast Asian (?) style ring from Vermil. Do the colors of your arrows represent differences in spine, point weight, total arrow weight etc.?
@@briandavis6843 Thanks. I've yet to explore Vermil / Custom Thumb Rings. So much choice, but prices can be hard. I don't want to get one that doesn't feel right. I shoot NFAS field archery and we have to have "numbered" arrows to use for different pegs. I just went with RW&B as these are the peg colours and also adds a bit more colour to arrows when I miss and get lost in the woods.
@@miguelveratraditionalarche9374 Hola. Hard to say. I've been using the brass ones for over a year, I got the Daylite amgakji in May and been using that except with the Cheonjigung. I've only used the sutgakji a few times from fear of injury. However, following this test, i was impressed by the sutgakji and think I need to practice more with it. I'll attach a wrist strap again, better this time. You can see it in the slow motion but it came off at some point. I think I also need to invest in a Vermil at some point. Not sure what to go for. They have many different types. Also curious about that gao ying ring too.
