Hi all!

I am new to the forum and I just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Robert, I live in Sweden and I have been into archery for about a year, mainly traditional longbow. I am also very interested in the archery of the old Ottomans, and I recently received my Gr?zer Trukish bow that I am very pleased with. I have problems grasping the thumb draw though, but I aim to work on it. Any tips are very welcome.

Hi Robert,

The best thing to do would be for you to make a video of yourself and post it. That way people will have something to work on. Also skim through the technique forum: http://198.170.108.27/phpBB2/viewforum.php?f=3
You propably will find some answers there.

Welcome Robert!

I have a good friend who lives in Sweden and is an avid thumb release archer! I'll tell him you've posted here. Maybe you live nearby and can shoot together sometime!

J.

Ok, nice!

Do you have any idea how many people in Sweden shoot with thumb draw? I know of a guy in Lycksele as well...
