I think he ' s taking about how you ' ve spread it . Almost like a fish eye camera lens . <| sep |> why ? air is cheaper , smaller , just as effective , and zero risk and half the noise . <| sep |> Of course , I would like a copy in text to save to my library , if you please . please excuse the wall of text . I wanted to cover this in depth . KEY PARTS IN BOLDAlso , your video was WONDERFUL ! I have added it to my resources playlist , so thank you very much . It seems I am not as well read as you , Ryddragon , in this area , and so , my arguments are mostly based upon trust in my teachers , people far better read and practiced than I . Mihai Cozmei , the man who first demonstrated properly to me the Persian release if you ' ll excuse this for now , is perhaps the most well read horse archer that I know , with perhaps one exception Lukas Novotny reviver of the traditional hornbow composite , Saluki bowyer . Lukas does not seem to dispute its existence when discussed in competition . These men have been daily practitioners and world champs for 20 years . Now , on my own thoughts and experienceWe will never know of the complex culture of the nomads , to whom knowledge such as releases was general , but what we can do is practice with historically accurate equipment , and if techniques work , they can be assumed to be practical in some situations . Whatever the modern masters say , they know only a fraction of the great martial tradition , and do not live in a world where the bow is a part of defense . First and foremost , we must practice with the full context in mind , that of war and hunting , then use books to help , and play with useless practice to try in all directions , as I am sure the old warriors and their children did as well ! ! My preferred release , which I find superior to other methods of thumb , is a lightly torqued 23 grasp , notable as the torque allows smooth departure , compare to a tightly tucked thumb , and allows for the holding of up to 15 arrows in the drawing hand . My second favorite is the Persian . I do not pull a war bow weight , and do not know the practicality till I test the methods later , but for now , the technique is often more accurate , more easily , than my thumb , even allowing me to shoot at high speeds . Lastly , if I may be so bold as to suggest , another resource you may appreciate unrelated to Persian release , to which many in the community have referred to . I have been told of old paintings of a certain artistic tradition , of which I forget the name , which were renowned for their dedication to accurate depictions . Perhaps you might find it . If not , my friends know the name . I hope you do not mind , but I might continue to perpetuate the name of the release , as it is the most commonly accepted term , however inaccurate the term may be , although I welcome a solution ! Please , refute me ! It would help so much to flesh out our modern practice . EDIT Also , as for the Nubian Ring , can you show an pictures using it ! ?
