Mediterranean Draw v. Thumb Draw Discussion

[Amarutu]

Yes Bede, the inconsistencies in the rules for Western archery regarding thumb rings stem from a lack of understanding of how thumb rings work. The plan of the Chinese inconsistency regarding Mediterranean draw has the same sort of reason. Forbidding Mediterranean draw does not affect aiming with marks, system shooting, string- or facewalking etc. These techniques only have been used and imported to China with Mediterranean draw using archers. The blame on the way to put fingers on the bowstring is the same as forbidding thumbrings/thumbdraw. It's only the eastern version of the same. This made me laugh, because I see here in Germany how poor this works. The mentioned aimingtechniques can be adopted to thumbdraw, and nothing is won, but the non-thumb-draw techniques are lost for the competitions.

For their most recent domestic competition, it seems the Chinese Traditional Archery Association went ahead an implemented the "thumb draw only" rule for traditional bows.

That competition is taking place this weekend. I don't think this rule would apply for their international-invitational competitions. But yeah, we'll see how this goes.
