Re: Show here your roman soldier impression - Virilis - 06-04-2010 Hi guys! Shooting a bow of, lets say, with a draw weight over 70 pounds requires a totally different technique than with a traditional victorian style where the anchor point is at the corner of the mouth. I have a Grozer THR laminated turkish bow of 60# draw weight and it is for fun. The c-shape of the bow clearly adds to the dynamism of the bow, it is fast and accurate. Unfortunately it is clearly meant to be shot with a thumb-ring because of the acute angle of the string when drawn. I use the mediterranean three-fingered release and it is not as clear as I would like. It is also painful to the fingers because they are pressed so hard against the string / arrow shaft. I have also Kassai`s 110# bow but I am not shooting with it anymore because in relation to it`s draw weight it is not fast / powerful at all! The bow weight itself about 1 kilo and it is just too heavy to be efficient (because of the weight of the fiberglass). I would love to have 100# bow which would weigh 500gr tops... Ps. lovely bow, Byron hock: ! Re: Show here your roman soldier impression - Gaius Julius Caesar - 06-04-2010 Cheers Virilis. The solution for the nipping fingers is the draw glove for the three fingers perhaps? I have both a thumb ring and the glove, but still need to try to compare. Re: Show here your roman soldier impression - Virilis - 06-04-2010 Quote:Cheers Virilis. Hi Byron! I use both three-fingered glove and a shooting tab but after shooting for a while the pressure still gets to your fingers. With the short bows the string angle is so acute and I think that`s why the thumb-release was invented in the first place. I sometimes tape my fingers under the glove or tab but still after 1 hour of shooting it gets a bit painful.. Re: Show here your roman soldier impression - Gaius Julius Caesar - 06-04-2010 OK thanks. Will see how I get on with it. Re: Show here your roman soldier impression - Caballo - 06-04-2010 Heres my Late Roman impression- now if someone could photoshop out the modern people in the background....I have absolutely no idea how to do this!!
