This and the links it throws up were fascinating to watch, but I was frustrated at not to be able to see what release they were using. I don't think it was the standard long bow fingers type, but neither could I see a thumb ring. Were they just pinching the nock between finger and thumb? I suppose this could be possible given that the bows all seemed to have a low draw weight. I'd love to know what the experts on this site think.

I dont shoot enough to be able to comment on the accuracy. I believe the draw was 30-40lbs cant remember where I read such but looking at the bow it seems about right. Seems to just use a thumb release with no thumb ring which isn't uncommon. Like everything its practice repetition and form to the point that it becomes a subconscious act. Me I couldn't hit water if I fell out of my canoe,, my bows though are capable of much more according to their owners. :)
