**Archer’s Thumb Ring:**
>The end of the thumb and ring acts as a second class lever with the joint being the fulcrum, like the wheel of a wheel barrow. The load is the bow string sitting against the ring, just past the joint, and the end of the thumb and ring is held with the index and second fingers, like the handles of the wheel barrow. The palm is held down and the release is like flicking a quarter.
